Can you get pregnant while on your period

my boyfriend and i are sexualy active, and have been for a long time. we have sex while im on my period if the flow isnt heavy. im on birth controll but stopped taking it saturday night so i could get my period this week. it came monday night, tueday night my boyfriend came over, and we ended up having sex because my flow wasnt heavy at all. once everything was done, he pulled out and we both reliezed that the condom had broke. i was really worried so i ran upstairs and took an extra pill that i found from a package of pills from a long time ago. i put in a tampon to see if i could get anything else and cleaned up the best i could. but im worried.. could i be pregnant? im not worried about my boyfriend leaving me, we've been though this scare before.. and he stuck by me and supported me, but we're both to young to have a baby.

Hi, I'm new to thiss I juss wanted to know something.  . . Me and my boyfriend had sex the last day on my period and actually finished inside me,  we didn't use protection. After that we had sex like two days later and he finished to without protection , and they were during my ovulating days.  Does that increase my chances of being pregnant?

My periods have been pretty normal my boyfriend and i have been having unprotected sex only he doesnt finish inside he pulls out. Three days before my period came he finished a little inside me i was wondering if i could be pregnant considering i got my period after like normal? Theres really no difference with me aside from cramping and slight nausae after my period ended which make me wonder if i could be pregnant.

If you have unprotected sex at anytime there is a chance you could become pregnant.
But it's less likely to happen at the beginning of your period, so i was told..
I was stupid, but i had unprotected sex, first day of my period (i was drunk) and i fell pregnant.
I suffer from PCOS too so my periods are irregular, doesn't make me infertile however.
The only way you'll get proper answers to YOUR question though is to go out there and answer them yourself.
Get a home test or two.
Go to the doctor.


And if you don't want a baby, either don't have sex or use a ******* condom for God's sakes.

Yes you can get pg while on your period, you CAN ovulate during your period. My OB told that..even if you fall pg sometimes you can still ovulate even though your already pg.

and now i was diagnosed with PCOS. this whole time i was thinking i could get pregnant and now it hit me that it was all in my dam head. i cant get pregnant on my own.

i hope you are all eternally grateful to God or whatever you pray to, for your fertility.

For all those wondering if you can get pregnant during your period - I had unprotected sex twelve years ago with my then partner, five days into my period. The outcome is now 11 years old and sitting in the bath upstairs as I write this.... So the answer is most definitely YES YOU CAN!!!

you should know that theres never a circumstance where using a comdom is something "not to worry about" because you can always get pregnant even on your period. while its very rare it does happen. espeically at the end of your period.

you run a risk of getting pregnant but its not that high

I am 23 yrs. old and have 3 kids already. I am married, and my hubby and I use condoms for protection. Last week, I was on the last day of my period, and we well, you know. We didn't use a condom because I was told not to worry about it. I decided to read up on it, and come to find out I can get pregnant. Are the chances of me being pregnant pretty high? I have pretty reg. periods 28-31 days apart. He did go all the way, so am just curious! Please someone respond back!!!!

you can get pregnant on the pill even if you forget to take your pill. missing your pills lessens the effectiveness of it.

your just going to have to wait and take a test

I am on birth control. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he came in me about 10 days ago. The same day I was about an hour or 2 late on taking my pill. I stopped the pill yesterday to try and get my period because I am worried I can be pregnant from not taking the pill on time. What do you think?

When having sex, is it the pill the day before or the one right after that counts the most?

who ever is saying you can't get pregnant on your period is not right....it is less likely but it can still happen....now the fact that you are taking birth control safe guards you...and you probably will not be pregnant....but crazier things have happened. Your best bet would be to stop having sex.....because there is always that small chance that you can get pregnant....and the even larger one that you can catch an std.......Like hpv which spreads even with a condom. And Herpes also. If someone is to young to have children they really should not be having sex....and even though it is hard for anyone to deal with std's......at 15 or 16 it is even harder....don't scar yourself by behaving recklessly. I know using protection and birth control is very smart, a lot of people don't...but there is always that small chance.....be careful.
