Can I be pregnant if I'm on my period?

Actually, marisol, when we have our period, that is not the easiest time for us to get pregnant. It is possible for us to get pregnant any time because sometimes we ovulate at funny times during our cycle. So some women ovulate during their period, but most of us do not. The thing is, most of us don’t know when we do ovulate. So we don’t know if we ovulate at funny times, like during our period, or not. That’s why we need to always assume we are fertile and use birth control every time.

But you’re right that she should have said “no” if she does not want a baby, and that she will need to take a pregnancy test if her period is late!

If you are having intercourse, of course you could get pregnant. That’s where babies come from after all. Woman can get pregnant before, during, or after their period. We can also get pregnant even if the guy pulls out. If you do not want a baby, you need to use birth control.

Honestly, I would suggest not having intercourse for a little while. Do some research before you have it again. These are things you should know before you have intercourse, not after. Having intercourse without knowing about pregnancy and birth control really sets you up for an accident. Schedule an ob-gyn appointment. She would be able to answer a lot of your questions and give you some birth control.
