Can
You Get Pregnant During Your Period?
Yes you can get pregnant during your
period, but your chances of getting pregnant during
your period are slim. The best time for a woman to get
pregnant is around the middle of her cycle, close to
ovulation. For the average woman this is around cycle
day 12 to 16. However, it is possible to get pregnant
during your period and there are several reasons why.

Sperm can live for up to 5 days
Normally sperm can survive inside a woman’s body for around two to three
days. However, under the best conditions, sperm can sometimes survive for as long
as five days. So if a woman had unprotected sex during her period and then ovulated
four or five days after she had sex, she could get pregnant.
Early ovulation
Typically a woman ovulates around 14 days before the start of her period. So
if you have an average 28 day cycle, you would most likely ovulate on cycle
day 14. A woman’s cycle, though, is not always predictable. Even women
who normally have regular cycles can have an off cycle and ovulate earlier or
later than normal. If you ovulate very early in your cycle, for example, on
cycle day 10, it would be possible to conceive if you had intercourse while
on your period.
Long periods or irregular bleeding
Some women have very long periods or irregular bleeding
after their period. If a woman had a long period, say
it lasted for 10 days, and she had unprotected sex while
she was still bleeding, she might get pregnant. Even
though a woman is bleeding or spotting, it doesn’t
mean she is not fertile. It is possible for a woman
approaching ovulation to still be on her period. In
fact, some women will begin producing fertile
cervical mucous during the last few days of their
periods. If a woman ovulates shortly after her period
ends or while she is spotting, she could get pregnant.
Ovulation Spotting
Ovulation
spotting is bleeding that occurs close
to ovulation. It is very fertile cervical fluid and
it is sometimes mistake for a long or abnormal period.
Some women will have brown or red spotting right before
they ovulate. This type of spotting provides the ideal
environment for sperm to live in. If a woman has sex
while she is having ovulation spotting, there is a good
chance she could get pregnant.
