No, a girl cannot get pregnant simply because she is menstruating ("comes"). Pregnancy only occurs when sperm fertilizes an egg. While it's possible to get pregnant during menstruation, it's significantly less likely than during ovulation.
Understanding the Menstrual Cycle and Fertility
The menstrual cycle is a complex process, and pregnancy is only possible during a specific window. As stated by the NHS, "Theoretically, there's only a short time when women can get pregnant, and that is the time around ovulation." https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/periods/fertility-in-the-menstrual-cycle/
- Ovulation: This is when an egg is released from the ovary. This is the most fertile time.
- Fertile Window: The few days surrounding ovulation are when pregnancy is most likely.
- Menstruation: This is the shedding of the uterine lining. While sperm can survive in the reproductive system for up to three days, the chances of conception during menstruation are low because the egg hasn't yet been released. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/sex-during-period.html
The Role of Orgasm
Importantly, the female orgasm plays no direct role in conception. https://positivestepsfertility.com/blog/female-orgasm-and-conception/ While it can enhance intimacy, it does not increase the chances of pregnancy.
Irregular Periods and Pregnancy
Even with irregular periods, ovulation still occurs, albeit unpredictably. This means pregnancy is still possible, even if the menstrual cycle is inconsistent. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/irregular-periods-qa.html
Conclusion
While there is a small chance of pregnancy during menstruation due to the lifespan of sperm, it is not the primary time of conception. Pregnancy only happens when sperm fertilizes an egg, which is most likely to happen around ovulation. The female orgasm does not directly impact the chances of pregnancy.
