Yes, it's possible but less likely. It depends when during her period she has sex & how long the sperm thrives.

Yes, but it is not common. A woman usually begins her period 14 days after she ovulates. If she is one of the few women who has a very short menstrual cycle, pregnancy can occur with intercourse during her period. For example, a woman with a 21 day cycle will ovulate every 21 days. Her period will start 14 days after she ovulates. If her period lasts 7 days, she will ovulate again right at the end of her period. Sperm live in a women's body for up to 48 hours. Therefore, if a woman with such a short cycle has intercourse on day 5 or 6 of her period, sperm may still be alive when she ovulates. Her egg only lives about 12 hours, but that may still be enough to allow fertilization to occur, and she would then be pregnant. As noted in other answers, either use some form of birth control, or don't have intercourse if you don't want to risk pregnancy

The answer is NO. When you are having your period it means that your cycle is at an end. Your cycle has two parts,
1.the follicular phase when an ova(egg) is maturing inside your ovaries
2.the secretory phase when the ova has been released and a temporary structure called the corpus leuteum develops.
The so called period is when your egg has not been fertilized
and the egg along with excessive uterus tissue which grows in the 1st stage is shed from your uterus.
At this time an egg is absent for a sperm to fertilize it so no pregnancy can occur

Yes it is possible but the chances are very very low. It's best you still use protection if you do not want to get pregnant.
