Can you get pregnant while on your period?
Sperm has the ability to live for quite a long time once it is inside the human body (upwards of five days). While your body is not looking to get pregnant while you are on your period, the sperm may kick around long enough to get you pregnant anyway.
So yes you can get pregnant while on your period; however, it is less likely that you will become pregnant while you are on your period. Mainly because your period is trying to flush out any unfertilized eggs. Normally the fertilized egg will cling to a wall, but if the sperm cannot quite reach the egg due to an active period, or if the egg doesn’t get a good enough grip your period may stop a pregnancy. As unlikely as this may be, it is most certainly possible.
