Is it possible?

I have very irregular cycles (4-11 weeks in length). Is it possible for me to get pregnant after having unprotected sex on the last day of my period.? or only if i have short cycles?

Since you are cycling naturally anything is possible. If you are having true periods where you ovulate and than approximately 2 weeks later have your period, and if your period is always 4 to 11 weeks long, then it is very unlikely that you would be fertile during your period and there is little chance of your becoming pregnant. However, if you were to have a shorter period (not an impossibility when cycling naturally) then you might be fertile and at risk of an unintended pregnancy during your period. An excellent book on your menstrual cycle is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It's easy to read and understand and available from most libraries and bookstores. Thanks for posting.
Take care,
