To most guys this might be awful, but if there are any wome out there that can answer this question plz answer it! Right now i'm doing a study on contraception in my health class. Is it possible for a woman who is menstruating to get pregnant? I was told no because the womans placenta has already peeled off with the egg. but this came from someone who isnt dumb but not very educated. Also if she has sex while on her period, but she also uses birth control is it possible? Guys u can answer as well, but his topic groses u out!!!

I believe you can always get pregnant at any time, even during your period because the sperm can survive for a while and various other reasons.  It's unlikely, but there's a very small chance.  Even birth control is not 100% sure.

Anytime you have unprotected sex you run the risk of getting pregnant.  Not every woman has "textbook" periods and can ovulate at any time.  The only definitive pregnancy test is a blood test and that can be done by your doctor.  If I were you, I would do as that other answerer suggested and educate yourself before you engage in any more intercourse.  If you don't want to do that, insist that your boyfriend or significant other use a condom, EVERY time you have sex!

Hey again Renee...\nDoes your cycle run every..."24", "28" or "35" days? \n\nI will give you an example on a "28" day cycle. \nCause that is what I run myself. \n\nIf your cycle begins on the 24th of THIS month for example...you will be ovulating for 5 days. The 14 DAY is the MAIN day. The 2 days BEFORE that 14th day & the 2 days AFTER that 14th day. Those are your 5 "Ovulation" days. So...Dec. 6th~10th will be YOUR next ovulation period. \n\nHere's more info from the following Linkie~Dink...\nA woman is usually able to get pregnant for about 5 days each month, when ovulation occurs. On average, ovulation occurs 12 to 16 days before the menstrual period begins. Therefore, ovulation would occur on about day 10 of a 24-day menstrual cycle, day 14 of a 28-day cycle, or day 21 of a 35-day cycle. The key to becoming pregnant or to avoiding pregnancy is determining when ovulation will occur. Because sperm can live for 3 to 5 days in a woman's reproductive tract, it is possible to become pregnant if intercourse occurs several days before ovulation.\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/infertility_reproduction/hw214032.asp#hw214035\n\nGOOD LUCK TO YA!

I believe what you are asking is if you could be pregnant from intercourse two months ago, after two months of normal periods--correct?  \n\nIf so, the answer is YES!  Some women have their period for the entire length of their pregnancy in fact.  A friend of mine didn't know she was pregnant until she was 7 months along--as her periods came and went like normal that whole time.

Yes- it is very possible to get pregnant this way, especially if she is near her time of ovulation.  Any contact of sperm or pre-ejaculate on or near the vaginal opening can result in pregnancy.

Not usually. On average, women ovulate about 14 days after the start of their period, when on a 28 day cycle that is regular. However, it is not an absolute fact that it works that way for everyone. They say to use birth control (non-hormonal types anyway) even during your period because there still exists the possibility of conception, which of course, requires ovulation. I would think that if the cycle is not regular to begin with, that would increase the odds of that happening.

For sure ...before and during her period, she's most suceptible to get pregnant...\n\n...ehmmm ...do you need some prayers dude?

Yes, it is possible to be pregnant and still have a period for a month or two. If she is worried, have her get a home pregnancy test.

Absolutely, they can.  There's that many things that can affect the mentrual cycle.  However, if you did have sex any time within the period of your last period until now, get a pregnancy test; because unless you used a condom, etc and it didn't break, there's a chance you can be preggers.

You can still get pregnant.  It sounds like you may not ovulate regularly, so you may ovulate one month and not realize it and get pregnant.  You have to be careful because you could do something harmful not knowing your pregnant because you are irregular.  Also, have you been to the doctor.....I have the same type of cycle, I have a two year old.  You may want to be checked to see if you have PCOS-polycystic ovarian syndrome...

You probably are not.  The chances of a fetus living through a menstration cycle are very low because the corpus luteum is not alive to save the zygote. I personally wouldn't worry about it.\n\nI would worry about STDs though, because your period isn't going to stop you from getting herpes, chlamydia, HIV, etc.

Yes and No. \n\nNo: The only way to get pregnant requires an exchange of fluids, whether it's through intercorse or fertilization it's still the transfer of fluids.\n\nYes: You can get pregnant a number of different ways. Of course there is the traditional method of just having sex. Then there's the medical proceedure of having the fertilized egg implanted. However, it is possible to get pregnant just fooling around, for instance say you're messing around with a boy, both of you are naked and you're not having sex, but simulating the act. He's rubbing his penis between the lips of your vagina. If he ejaculates on your vagina, it is possible for the sperm to get inside of you and you could get pregnant. This is a rare scenario, but it is a possibility. The chance of pregnancy increases the more chance of the sperm getting inside of you, as if he started fingering you after he had his orgasm.\n\nSorry to be graphic here, but just wanted to give you some information.

yes she can get pregnant if its only been out for a few seconds.  sperm can live for a couple of minutes outside... so you should be careful.  air is not a spermicide... so try some kind of birth control, or morning after pill.  play it safe!

No, they used to use the rhythm system.  We learned it in the sex education class.  middle way between your periods the ovem [egg] comes down and you can only get pregnant those 2 days.  You will notice something in your underwear like snot.  That's it!  So your safe for the rest of the month. During your period, is even safer.  Count 12 to 15 days from the day your period starts.  Don't have sex then.\nThat's your most fertile time.

It is Nature Baby!\nWell, for one thing, it's your body's way of preparing for pregnancy. Once you get your period, it means that you are physically able to become pregnant and have a baby – although you don't necessarily feel ready!\n\nPeriods happen as a result of hormones released from a gland at the base of your brain called the pituitary gland. These hormones cause an egg to be released. At the same time, the lining of your uterus (or womb) is becoming thicker – like a soft and spongy bed, ready for the egg.\n\nIf you have sex while everything is in place, you have a good chance of falling pregnant – unless you use contraception (like a condom). If you don't have sex, the egg does not get fertilised and the uterus lining starts to break down. The blood and tissue from this lining comes out through your vagina over the course of a few days – this is your period.\n\nMost girls start their period between the ages of nine and 16. Between the ages of 11 and 13 is average, but everyone is different.\n\nPeriods usually start after other changes to your body have taken place, like your breasts and pubic hair starting to grow. At first, your periods may be a little irregular – you might skip a month or be late by a few days – but this will eventually settle down and come about every 28 days.

Most likely not.  While it is possible to have you period while pregnant, it is rare.  You probably just had an irregular period.  If you are really worried take a home pregnancy test.  As long as you used protection though I don't think you have anything to worry about.
