Is it possible for a woman to get pregnant while on her period?
Actually, yes, it would be possible for a woman to get pregnant while menstruating if that’s also when she was ovulating. Although this is a very rare occurance, some women’s cycles are irregular or out of phase enough that it could happen. However, it’s an extremely unlikely situation. If you want to be sure, you’ll need to determine when you’re ovulating. To do this, you can either use commercial ovulation tests that are available in most larger drug stores or pharmacies, or you can learn about natural family planning methods, which teach you how to track your ovulation cycles using other methods.
