No, that is incorrect. Although I doubt you are pregnant, some women who ARE pregnant have a period every month until they give birth.

Whenever you have unprotected sex there is a risk of pregnancy. If your period has started, you most likely are not pregnant.

Yes, agreed. But her question was, is she correct in thinking that because a period has arrived, there is NO chance of pregnancy.

That is untrue because some women have a period for their whole gestation of pregnancy. Some women, just not most.

Let me clarify:

You are most likely not pregnant based on the information given.

However, you could be pregnant. No one can tell you what your risks of pregnancy are or not.

If you feel you are pregnant, please take a pregnancy test approximately 14 days after the suspected date of conception. If you do not know when you ovulate, please use an ovulation predictor kit. If this is after the fact wait until you miss your period.
