You cant get pregnant during your period because the lining is being shed and you need that to maintain a pregnancy. Also the egg is being disposed of so it can't be fertilized anymore. However, sex during your period could result in a pregnancy since the sperm can live for a few days, and if you ovulate early in your cycle it can happen. Always use protection just in case, because you never know.

Sperm can live up to about 7 days.
(In general these will be female sperm, because they are more longer-lived. Male sperm are faster swimmers, so if you have sex exactly on ovulation you are more likely to get a boy. Male sperm are fast but don't live long.)
Ovulation generally occurs about 14 days after the start of your period, so if your period goes for seven days, and you have sex on the last day, there is a chance you will get pregnant, and if you did, it would probably be a girl baby.
Most women would have a grace period of about two weeks when sex was pretty safe - from about 2 days after ovulation until a two or three into your period.
If you would like more info about how to tell when you're ovulating you can email me, or research the "Billings Method" on the net. Good luck.

Do not believe any of the myths you hear! Always use protection, unless of course you are wanting to have a baby. Your not dumb, you can only learn if you ask.

You can get pregnant while on your period although it is not that common.
