If it is a 'true' menstrual cycle NO but many women have midcycle bleeding at the time of ovulation and this may be mistaken for a menstrual cycle when in fact the odds of pregnancy are highest at the time of ovulation. If you are concerned or confused a home pregnancy test is as accurate as anything available in the physician's office and these will detect a pregnancy even before a period is missed and they will even detect an ectopic or tubal pregnancy. If you do not wish to be then I hope that you are not pregnant but in any even good luck.

Although the chances of becoming pregnant during period decrease dramatically it is no guarnuate that you will not become pregnant. Your period is your body discharging your unfertilized egg. That does not mean that the egg is the first thing to leave your body - it could leave your body at the begining, in the middle, or at the end of period. That is why there is still a chance.

The chances are small but it is still possible because you release an egg as you shed the lining of your uterus but sometimes there is no telling when the egg will leave so if the egg is still there, you could still get pregnant. If you are going to have sex during your period, use a condom!

You can get pregnant anytime you have sex. Very small chance when you are having your period. But a chance just the same.

No thats not true at all!!!! It's an unfortunate myth that get's a lot of girls in trouble. While the odds may not be as high, it's about the same as trying the "pull out" method; your looking at a 50/50

Yes you can fall pregnant and noone can tell you your chances of falling pregnant while you have your period. Every woman's ovulation cycle is different.
Your best bet is to use protection every single time you have sex. Even when you have your period.

You can definitely get pregnant. The chances are slim, but don't risk it. Also, if you do get pregnant, it might not be a proper uterine pregnancy, but rather an ectopic one which can cause serious serious problems.

the chances are slim, however it depends on the strength of the sperm. Some last a few days, swimming around down there, looking for the Jackpot! It's always best to use protection. No matter what he says. Protect yourself.

yes you can, some women have what are called "piggyback periods" where one period occurs right after the other. The chance is still just as great as if you had sex when you weren't on your period

i can't answer that for sure but as long as i can remember you cannot get pregnant during your period, if you are pregnant you probably did before your period also there are few womans who are pregnant and don't even know it because they have their period but i don't think you can get pregnant while at your period no way i doubt it....
