Can You Get Pregnant On Your Period
Whether you are trying to conceive or just trying to be cautious, you should be informed on a possibility of getting pregnant on your period. Since the hormone levels before, during and after the period differ from woman to woman, there has been a constant debate about this question. However, some answers are available on this subject.
Even though period is believed to be the safe time when it comes to conceiving, you can still get pregnant during your menstruation. Cause to this is the fact that some women just have very short cycles, meaning that the ovulation time comes right after their period. That increases the risk of getting pregnant. So in case you had a sexual intercourse some time during your menstruation, the sperm inside you could remain alive for a couple of days (even five days, under special conditions). So if you ovulate – you will get pregnant on your period.
That happens because the sperm has an ability to stay alive for a couple of days inside a female body, which leads to conclusion that you do not get pregnant on the same day you actually had an unprotected sex but some time after. The exact time of conception can be determined by a specialist.
Another possibility is to mistake bleeding (spotting) between two cycles for a standard period. That means you are bleeding just at the time of ovulation -the time when you are most fertile. There are even cases of women who ovulate before the menstrual bleeding actually ends. Have that in mind, because having sex before the menstruation or just right after the menstruation can result in pregnancy.
If you want to eliminate the possibility of getting pregnant on your period – make sure to use some method of birth control that suits you and your partner (condoms, pills, etc).
