Myth #7: Women cannot get pregnant from intercourse during their period.
This is tricky, because there is potential ambiguity in the phrasing of the assertion. In other words, whether or not a woman can get pregnant during her period depends on the precise question asked. "Can a woman get pregnant during her period?" is quite different from, "Can a woman get pregnant from intercourse during her period?"
A woman can NOT get pregnant during her period because the hormonal levels that trigger ovulation are completely opposite during menstruation.
However, a woman CAN get pregnant from intercourse during her period if she has an early ovulation and has sex on Day 5 or later of her cycle.

I think not. Coz you only have up to 12 hours to conceive after ovulation otherwise, menstrual blood will wash it away together with some nutrients in the uterus wall that should have aid an egg implant and you'll wait for another cycle to hope for a successful pregnancy again. In other words, menstruation is the last stage of the cycle. The eggs at this stage are gone and then some parts of the fallopian tube have withered and it takes days to produce new eggs. An intercourse during this time is super duper remote.

just a thought: sperm can live INSIDE the female body for up to a week. eggs can be released early. So yes, you can get pregnant if you have intercourse on your period. not quite likely, but is POSSIBLE.
