can my girlfriend get pregnant if we have sex while she's on her period?

Answer 1

Although, the risk may not be high as her getting pregnant as if you have sex the week before her period there is still a risk. You should use protection.

Answer 2

G'day the Dude,

Yes she can although the risk is not as great as other times.

The length of the follicular phase — and consequently the length of the menstrual cycle — may vary widely. The luteal phase, however, almost always takes the same number of days. Some women have a luteal phase of 10 days, others of 16 days (the average is 14 days), but for each individual woman, this length will remain constant. Sperm survive inside a woman for 3 days on average, with survival time up to five days considered normal. A pregnancy resulting from sperm life of eight days has been documented.

The most fertile period (the time with the highest likelihood of sexual intercourse leading to pregnancy) covers the time from some 5 days before ovulation until 1-2 days after ovulation. In an average 28 day cycle with a 14-day luteal phase, this corresponds to the second and the beginning of the third week of the cycle. Fertility awareness methods of birth control attempt to determine the precise time of ovulation in order to find the relatively fertile and the relatively infertile days in the cycle.

People who have heard about the menstrual cycle and ovulation may commonly and mistakenly assume, for contraceptive purposes, that menstrual cycles always take a regular 28 days, and that ovulation always occurs 14 days after beginning of the menses. This assumption may lead to unintended pregnancies. Note too that not every bleeding event counts as a menstruation, and this can mislead people in their calculation of the fertile window.

If a woman wants to conceive, the most fertile time occurs between 19 and 10 days prior to the expected menses. Many women use ovulation detection kits that detect the presence of the LH surge in the urine to indicate the most fertile time. Other ovulation detection systems rely on observation of one or more of the three primary fertility signs (basal body temperature, cervical fluid, and cervical position).

For this reason, you should always make sure that you use birth control unless you are hoping to start or expand your family.

Answer 3

Yes. The idea that a woman can not get pregnant on her period is an old wives tale. Suit up everytime.

Answer 4

If your g/f have period, she can't get pregnant, coz her womb is still regenerating a new ovum. thats actually her body did.

As long as i know, her body will very weak and sometimes more sensitive. So it can endanger her having sex during in her period.

But, to be truth is more sensitive more horny.. your g/f will feel a new kind of sensation if u make in her period.

ok?

Answer 5

Yes...She can get pregnant 365 days a year..but..It's more likely the 14, 15 and 16th day after she starts her period.

Answer 6

She sure can. Not everyone cycles the same. She could be ovulating at that time. I would just use protection to be safe. She should also get on the pill. The pill however, does not protect from STD's. Do not practice the withdrawl method either. Nothing is as safe as a condom and the pill. Safe.

Answer 7

no she cant get pregnant while she is on her period you can get pregnant 7 days after or before her period. when she is on her period her body is dropping the old eggs in her body and producing new eggs

Answer 8

No, she can't get pregnant while she's on her period, but as soon as her period is over, the danger zone is active again.

Answer 9

Yes. Bleeding and ovulation aren't always related. Besides, semen lives inside a woman for about four days. Wrap that rascal.

Answer 10

Yes. "Remember that just because you're having your period doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. Be sure to continue using birth control unless you are trying to become pregnant." http://www.webmd.com/content/article/41/1687_50059.htm
