Can a woman get pregnant in space?

Well we know they can have sex! but would impregnation occur. A few experiments with other species yield and answer of NO.\nI would suspect that the use of a slow centrifuge to simulate some low gravity would probably make it work.\n\nBut where there is a will, there is a way.\nThere is something about the thought of sending her to the moon that is romantic.

No way, not at all possible.\n\nGirls get pregnant when a fresh ovum cell meets sperm in the fallopian tubes etc and they fuse to form a little zygote. The lining of the uteras wall is able to support the implantation of the prospective embryo and this all happens during days 14-17 mostly.\n\nProgesterone levels rise after this. What this hormone does is protects the lining of the womb so just in case a zygote is there, it can develop into an embryo and a period won't start.\n\nBut if there is no sperm then the ovum starts to 'give up' and eventually progesterone levels drop and the period starts. The ovum cell is discharged out of the body with the blood (which is the broken down wall of the womb).\n\nSo therefore one cannot get pregant whilst on a period. Hope this helps :-)

yes they are able to do just about everything you can on Earth. Depending if you are talking about the space station or just a shuttle mission not docking to the space station. I had the opprutunity of being able to go into a mockup of the space station at space camp in Huntsville Alabamma. They have aa special shower head that turns on and off and a special shower area. Remember they are not totally weightless there is some micro-gravity. Going to the bathroom is a little tricky too. Go to Nasa website and check it out.

NASA has consistently denied that any of its astronauts have had sex in space.  Rumors continue to circulate about a NASA report that documents their experiments into the practice but the alleged document has been circulating the Internet in various forms since the late 80s and always refers to a different mission number as being the one that is occurred on with one mission that the alleged male-female encounter being an all male crew.\n\nAnother rumor involves mission STS-47 when Mark C. Lee and Nancy Jan Davis, a married couple, were on the same mission.  NASA also denies that they engaged in sex while in space.

Yes, it is possible.  I haven't had periods since last October and my doctor told me last month that it is still just as possible to get pregnant as if you are having your periods.  So still be careful.

well the chances are higher during ovulation but really there is a chance of getting pregnant at ANY time.  Although the statistics say that a woman only has a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month accidents happen all the time and seems like the percentage is a little higher.  SO if you dont want to get pregnant protect yourself at all times :)

This would probably get better responses under pregnancy and not Astronomy & Space...Just a FYI

Hey, firstly it is not possible for a girl to get pregnant without having sexual intercourse. The sperm have to go thru the vault of the vagina, is thru the cervix and into the uterus, and then into the fallopian tubes. \n\nWhen a fertile ovum from the female is present in the fallopian tubes, the male gamete joins with the ovum resulting in fertilization and the formation of a new embryo. \n\nWhen a fertilized ovum reaches the uterus, it becomes implanted in the lining of the uterus, known as endometrium and a pregnancy begins. And that's the only way girls can get pregnant. And u cant get pregnant thru making out. Whatever it is, use a condom. =)

I am really surprised that they did not do a pregnancy test prior to starting radiation, even if the woman was on birth control.  In my experience, that is the first thing they look for because radiaton treatment can be extremely harmful to a fetus.  \n\nIt is not a good idea to become pregnant during radiation therapy because radiation may harm the fetus.  http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MIT/content/MIT_7_2X_What_Side_Effects_Occur_With_Radiation_Therapy_to_the_Pelvis.asp?sitearea=MIT\n\nPatients should not become pregnant during radiation therapy because radiation treatment during pregnancy will injure the fetus, especially in the first three months. If a patient is pregnant before therapy, the doctor should be informed so that the fetus can be protected from radiation, if possible.  http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/dc/cen/canc/gen/radiation.jsp

Lizzy, find a man who knows how to take care of you as well as himself. And yes, you can get pregnant if the woman has no orgasm... and even if the man does not have an orgasm. How? Because there is some sperm leakage, even if there is no actual orgasm... and even if he pulls out. All it takes is less than a drop of fluid, or more to the point, it takes only one sperm cell to fertilize an egg.

Yes. Gravity has nothing to do with the development of a child. The only thing the mother would have to watch out for in space is whether she was eating enough and getting enough nutrients to keep the baby healthy.

It's not very likely, but it can happen. If you want to get pregnant, go to your doctor and have the Implanon taken out. If not, it should sitll be working just as effectively.

ONE TIME SEX MAY PREGNANT A WOMAN.

Nope you can still get pregnant.  All those lovely little sperm need is a nice place to hang out until you ovulate or they find an egg, they can last/live up to 72 hours. It happens.  Not a great form of protection.  Better than none at all but...

No you can not get pregnant from a guy ejaculating on your stomach. Yes you can still get pregnant from having sex with a condom on. Condoms are between 92%-98% reliable. The best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex. My GF and I use a condom and birthcontrol everytime, we're not ready for a child so we take as little risk as possible but still  have the pleasure of sex.
