So, no, it's NOT impossible to get pregnant the day before or after your period, but definitely unlikely.

My parents are strict Catholics, and used the rhythm method. I am the eldest of 12 children.
My mom told me she got pregnant on every approved form of birth control the the Catholic Church condoned, except one, the St Joseph's Method.
That is where you hold a St Joseph's Aspirin between your knees, and pray a lot.
