How is it possible to get pregnant on your period? I was always told you couldn't, which is true?

Answer 1

ANYTHING is possible.

While a woman typically ovulates about 14 days following the start of her period, there is NO guarantee that she won't ovulate 2x in one month. And if your cycles are always irregular then all bets are off.

While it is less likely to occur, implantation of a fertilized egg can and does happen.

Answer 2

Both are somewhat true. If you're on your period, that means you have already ovulated, and since you didn't fertilize, you're body is getting rid of the extra lining it created in the event that you might fertilize. But that does not mean you are completely safe. It's quite posible, especially if you are young or your cycles are irregular, that you could ovulate again closer to your period, so that egg would still be able to be fertilized. You have 2 ovaries, and they generally take turns releasing an egg every month. But sometimes, they might both release at once or at least during the same month. So, no you are not 100% safe during your period and should use some form of birth control always to avoid getting pregnant.

Answer 3

While it's possible to have a period while pregnant. The chances of getting pregnant while on your period is slim to none. However, we have to leave that 1% chance for error and for this reason only is why I say it's slim to none. The only way get pregnant while on your period is if you body throws another egg to be fertilized. However the condition of the uterus during this time usually won't accept the fertilized egg. If a woman gets pregnant while on her period it would be a freak of nature.
