My question is about having sex while on your period
My friend called me and told me this story. I was wondering if you have sex while on your period and the boy cummed inside you will you get pregnant?

yes, you can still get pregnant even if you're on your period (although the chances do SLIGHTLY decrease). either way though, tell your friend to always use condoms!

The general rule is that anytime a guy ejaculates into your vagina, you can get pregnant. This is half of the reason to ALWAYS use condoms, and birth control if possible. The other half of the risk are STDs. Condoms can help prevent against those, too.
From what I've read, sperm can live up to 72 hours in a warm, moist place. So, if you have sex at the end of your period, you could still get pregnant. Yes, the previous columnists are correct. Your period is you shedding the lining of your uterus and egg(s) from this cycle along with it. But, your body cycles. That's what bodies do; there isn't much of a break in the human cycle. Eggs are always being created - this is why pregnancy is such a big risk and such a big scare for so many people.
So, in short, if your friend told you that a guy coming in you when you have your period gets you pregnant, she's only sort of wrong. Period + sperm isn't an equation for pregnancy, but it won't keep you safe, either. When you bleed, your egg is being shed along with your uterine lining. This means that at the moment, you don't have any/many eggs to fertilize. But there's always a chance something could go wrong and you'll wind up pregnant or with an STD.
So please, be aware, don't try to take shortcuts. Buy a pack of condoms and keep them handy (provided you're at least sixteen, since that's the legal age to mess around in most states). That way if things get hot and heavy, you can grab one in the heat of the moment and continue to be safe and unpregnant. =)
Cheers,

Pretty much what the previous columnist said. If you have sex on your period, it's the most likely time you will not get pregnant. When your period starts, your uterine lining is shedding, and your egg is deteriorating. With the lining being shed, and no egg, it's hard to get pregnant. However, your chances are present, but it's slim. After you start ovulating again, you may need to test if you feel it's only necessary.

having sex on your period is the least likely time you'll get pregnant, but it doesn't mean you wont.
when you are on your period, thats when the unfertilized egg is 'breaking', so thats why its unlikely, but it IS possible.
