A period signifys the ability to concive.

Possible but not likely. Don't know if you want a sex ed class but when a girl has her period the egg that is in the womb gets flushed out because the womb sheds... so to speak to keep everything nice and tidy incase she were to get pregnant. Usually women ovulate the week to 3 weeks after but rarely the first.

Depends on when you had sex. You are at your most fertile 13 to 15 days after the first day of your period. So count and see what you come up with. If you are going to have sex, make sure that you use birth control. Its just smart.

a lot of people will debate whether it is true or not, but my theory is that your period is a egg dying, so the day after the period, an egg hasnt dropped yet. So there's nothing to get pregnant. Considering that ovulation (when the egg drops) occurs two week after a period.

It's not likely, but it can happen. It is possible for a woman to get pregnant from intercourse during her period, especially if her menstrual cycle is brief.
In a 20-day cycle, for example, ovulation — the release of the egg — may very well occur on Day 6 of her cycle. Her period begins on Day 1. It lasts about five days. But a man's sperm can fertilize an egg up to six days in her body. Let's say this couple has unprotected vaginal intercourse in the first two days of her period. The live sperm can wait to join with her egg when it is released on Day 6. This could cause a pregnancy.
It is also possible that a woman may think she is having her period when she is not. It is also possible to get pregnant during breakthrough vaginal bleeding.
It's not only women with short cycles who need to be careful about unprotected vaginal intercourse during menstruation. Even when cycles are long and regular, ovulation may occur on different days in different cycles. That's why abstinence is necessary for several days in a row for women who choose to use fertility awareness-based methods of contraception.

You are less likely to get pregnant the day after your period, but it can still happen. You always need to use protection if you don't want to have a baby.

No. You need to ovulate to get pregnant and that doesn't happen until one to two weeks after your period is over.

No! The word girl offically designates a pre-puberty(toilet train) female; after puberty it's proper to refer to females as women and adults after adolesence..

I did.
Were your parents very fertile? That's probably the highest correlation. Both my husband and I were from big families. And we had a big family--not so wonderful when going thru it but it's great now.
