Falling Pregnant While On Your Period Posted: 08-26-03 20:19pm
it is not possible
for you fall pregnant while having your
period, this is because the endometrium in
which the egg follicle lays, is shed. You
can only fall pregnant when you ovulate
and that is only possible for 24 hours.
So if you were considering having
unprotected sex although it is not advised
the easiest way is to find out when in the
month you ovulate and avoid having
unprotected sex in this period of time.

Yes!! It is possible to get pregnant
while you are on your period. This is
taken from ivillage, and the same question
was asked then answered by a certified
nurse midwife--
"the simple answer to this is yes. If a
woman has a short cycle -- typically 21
days from first day to first day -- then
she is actually ovulating on day seven of
her cycle (the seventh day from the first
day of her period). Because some periods
last that long, it is possible that a
menses may be just ending when she is
ovulating.
Also, some bleeding may not be necessarily
a real period. Occasionally, ovulation
can cause some spotting, which can be
mistaken for a period. A woman may think
she is safe just at the most unsafe time.
Bleeding may represent implantation of a
fertilized ovum, too.
It is best to see a health care provider
to get all of this straightened out.
Dates, ovulation and pregnancy are best
handled with you, your wife and your
provider sitting together with a calendar
between you. "
