Can sperm survive menstruation? Posted: 04-10-08 09:34am


I know its the same ? over again... I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. he pulls out but he didnt pull out twice the weekend of march 9. I got my period on the 14 of march. I read that sperm can live up to five days in a woman, and so could that mean I could of possible gotten pregnant during my period? or is it possible that I got pregant, but I still had a period anyways since it was so close together. I am not the great with the details of ovulation/menstration/releasing of egg so I dont even know if that is possible either... I know its far fetched...and probably sounds ridiculous but I also hear women can get their "periods" and be pregnant also, how high of a possibility is it for a girl to get pregnant with the p.o. method? I know pull out is not birth control but we've been together awhile now and know the consequences. we're old enough to handle things that happen thanks so much if anyone can help me/educate me!

when you have a period, it means that anything nutriens that feed the embryo have been washed away. Which is why we have periods. You would not have a period while pregnant, women dont get periods while pregnant, they get something called break through bleeding, or implantation bleeding which is like pinkish spotting. If you bleed while pregnant it can mean miscarriage. Pulling out is not a method, and should not be a form of birth control. You could get pregnant anytime while pulling out. You should think of geting on birth control and using condoms. You should wait till your next period is due and take a test though. But if you had a period, it means you are most likely not pregnant. If he finishes inside you there is a possibility.
