General & Family Physician 's  Response
not necessarily.
pregnancy depends upon on female's ovulation & male's sperm union.
After female's ovulation the female egg remains fertile for 72 hours.
After ejaculation male's sperm live alive & active for 24 to 48 hours for fertilisation.
If male's sperm & female's egg unite & fertilise during that period, then & then pregnancy takes place.

welcome to healthcaremagic
it is very much possible to become pregnant on the very first time if your period falls during the ovulation time i.e 10th to 16th day from day 1 of your period considering the periods to be regular..the sperm remains viable for 48hrs and can cause pregnancy even if u have intercourse on 8th or 9th day..so always use condoms to be on a safer side..every single intercouse has the potential to cause pregnancy..
