I got pregnant on the 3rd day of my period (My period lasts for four days) and i got pregnant but miscarried at 5 weeks.
It is possible. Test 19 days from the last day of your period.

Yes, it is possible for a woman to get pregnant during her menstrual period. Though the chances of pregnancy are usually lower at the onset of a woman's period, there is no predictable time during the month when the risk of pregnancy is absent.


Here is a brief overview of how it could happen.


During each menstrual cycle, a woman's ovaries release an egg, or ovum. This process is called ovulation. This typically takes place an average of about 14 days before the start of a woman's monthly period, but the timing varies from month to month even in the same woman (and sometimes does not occur at all). After ovulation the egg moves toward the uterus through the fallopian tubes, where fertilization may take place. An unfertilized egg may live for about 24 hours. If it isn't fertilized, the egg will be shed during the next menstrual period, along with the lining of the uterus.


A woman is most likely to become pregnant if sexual intercourse occurs just before or just after ovulation. Sperm can survive for several days -- typically two or three -- inside a woman's body. Under ideal circumstances, however, they may remain viable for up to five days. So if sperm are deposited early -- such as during a woman's period -- they can hang around a few days, waiting until conditions are right for conception.


In addition to the survival skills of sperm, a recent study in the British Medical Journal highlights another reason why couples sometimes conceive during the woman's period. Research results indicate that the "fertile window," or time during the month when pregnancy can occur, is highly unpredictable for most women.


During the three-month study, researchers collected data about the hormone and ovulation patterns of 221 healthy women who were trying to get pregnant. They found that, overall, an estimated 2% of women were in their fertile window by the fourth day of their cycle, and 17% by the seventh day. (Day one of the menstrual cycle is the day a woman starts her period.) On every day between days 6 and 21, there was at least a 10% probability, on average, that a woman could become pregnant. In addition, women who reported regular periods had up to a 6% probability of being fertile on the day that menstruation was expected to start. Ovulation was even harder to predict in women with irregular periods, according to the study. The researchers concluded that timing intercourse to avoid (or achieve) pregnancy is quite difficult and cannot be done with precision.

The only motive they inform u to take your tablet whilst daily is to aid remind you to take it! Like if you're used to taking it within the morning every day it will help you remember. So as long as you are taking it every day AND considering that you have been onyour period you aren't going to get pregnant. Normally your period will also be shorther or longer however still be a real period and with that being said u arent ovulating on ur period and as a result you cant get pregnant.

Ok the odds are against it and you should be ready to enter the danger zone in the next few days BUT occasionally a rebel egg can be released at an unfortunate time. Some women have had twins 4-5 months apart because an egg was released when she was already pregnant. But you should be alright and since it was your husband your accident might be a great one.

The handiest motive they inform u to take your capsule even as day-to-day is to support remind you to take it! Like if you're used to taking it within the morning each unmarried day it will support you bear in mind. So so long as you are taking it daily AND on account that you have been onyour interval you're now not going to get pregnant. Sometimes your interval can also be shorther or longer however nonetheless be a real interval and with that being stated u arent ovulating on ur interval and as a result you cant get pregnant.

Everybody is different...it is rare but I have had friends get pregnant. If you are one birth control than I would say no because you are protected during the "off" days as well. But hey is 21 days take a test and see what happens!
