Here are responses from pregnancy experts to the question, “Can you fall pregnant during your period?. From Wiki Answers:
Answer
Yes! You can get pregnant if your partner ejaculates inside of you, if you are not using any form of birth control. (a condom, the pill, the shot, spermacide) Sperm can last/live for several days inside of you and ovulation can occur within a few days of the last day of your period.
Answer
Yes, it happened to me & I felt pretty stupid about it; I told my boyfriend that he didn’t have to withdraw because you can’t get pregnant on your period. Needless to say, we had an unexpected surprise the following month. So yes, you can definitely get pregnant on your period.
Answer
Yes, especially if you have short cycles. You ovulate about 14 days before your next cycle starts. You are fertile a few days before that. So if you have cycles that are only, for example, 17 days long then you would be ovulating on the third day or so of your cycle — which for most of us is still period time. If you think you are pregnant, take a test. You can take one anytime after the suspected initial point of conception. However, it may not show the true results until 14 days into it.
Answer
Yes, because sperm can live inside a woman’s body for up to 3 days. I was on my period on my wedding day, we didn’t consummate until the following day. Our son was conceived the day after my period. My period then was lasting 5 days. I am on a 28 day cycle. So i believe it is possible. I think that you can get pregnant whenever mother nature says “YES”.
Answer
After searching online and knowing my own body, I know that you CAN in fact get pregnant while on your period. Just because it is considered “normal” to ovulate at a certain time does not mean that you do. and just because you do one month does not mean that you will the next month either. When I was 18 I was having a 3 day period every 2 weeks for 3 months. so when I should have been ovulating, I was having a period instead.
