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.

yes! go get that pill. my best friend believed that she could not get pregnant while on her period. now i have a beautiful 4 year old god-daughter...

if you are not on the pill you can get pregnant on your period!!

also for future reference the plan B pill can disrupt your natural cycle for a few months, and if you are sexually active it is ALWAYS in your best interest to be on birth control! most places have clinics where you can get these prescriptions cheap. check out your local planned parenthood!

wow.... all this preaching...my turn...GREAT ADVICE LADIES, but you all are falling short of a few other things they should be worried about if they are having unprotected sex.  here's the short of the long....STDs are almost always spread from person to person by sexual intercourse, but STDs can also be spread through oral sex.  Here's a short list :)
Chancroid,Chlamydia,Crabs (and yes those little fellows are just as hard to get rid of as lice.),Gonorrhea,Hepatitis,Herpes,Human Papillomavirus/Genital Warts,
Lympogranuloma Venereum,Molluscum,Contagiosum,Nongonococcal Urethritis (NGU), Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Scabies, Syphilis, Vaginitis, oh and lets not forget AIDS/HIV.  Some of these are treatable, but none are cureable.  They all leave lasting effects, even if you don't know you have, or have had it.  Some of these can even affect the CHILD that having unprotected sex produced.  so all in all, what's the best thing for you to do, JUST STOP, that easy, doesn't require much thought.  You will be happier in the long run, and when you get married so will your husband.  NO ONE WANTS SOMEONE ELSE'S SLOPPY SECONDS
