It is possible to get pregnant even if you have sex during a woman's period. While the chances of getting pregnant during menstruation are lower than at other times in the cycle, sperm can survive in the reproductive system for up to 5 days. If ovulation occurs during this time, pregnancy is possible.
The timing of ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary, varies between women. Some women may ovulate earlier or later in their cycle, making pregnancy possible even if sex occurs during menstruation.
To prevent unwanted pregnancy, reliable contraception methods such as condoms, birth control pills, or other forms of hormonal contraceptives should be used consistently.
It's important to have open and honest communication with your partner about your sexual health and your desired family planning goals.
