- I'm pretty sure your period would still go on, I'm not 100% sure though.
I'd just wait until next month sometime, wait to see if you miss your period.
& Take a pregnancy test.
It is very likely, you could be pregnant.
Use protection.
Hope this helps

I truly apologize for sounding so rude, but the person that answering and claimed that it is unlikely (but not unheard of) to become pregnant while on your period is not well-informed.
Many, many, MANY women become pregnant while on their period. It is very risky to engage in sexual activities without protection during this time of the month even.
A woman ovulates, roughly, 14 or 15 days from the beginning of her last period; however, if your period is not a perfectly exact 28 day cycle then this can be thrown off. Ovulation lasts a few days. Your body's temperature slightly changes during this time and you secrete more cervical mucus to ensure there is enough for sperm to travel in properly. During this time sperm that entire your body are able to live slightly longer than usual. Sperm typically can live in a woman's body for 5 - 7days, though it is not unheard of to find a few still alive at the two week mark.
It only takes ONE sperm to fertilize your one egg. Sperm are well equipped to find their way to their goal and they will do anything to ensure fertilization.
There is a common misconception that if you have sex while you are on your period that the blood coming out of you will push all of the sperm out. The thing is, the sperm are made to do everything they possibly can to reach the goal--your egg. They are designed to be able to "swim against the current" so that they can make it upward into your uterus and tubes.
Now, if the egg has already been expelled it sounds as if there wouldn't be a problem; however, there is always another one on it's way and the sperm will fertilize it in while it's still in the fallopian tubes if they can make it. Sperm can live in your body for days (5 - 7 in normal conditions, longer if excellent conditions).
So, yes, there is a chance that pregnancy could occur. There is ALWAYS a chance pregnancy could occur. You should always be using some sort of "protection" to lessen (they don't prevent) pregnancy and STD/STI risks.
Also, ovulation is actually when you are at your peak fertility zone. Basically, you are equally fertile every day of your cycle, including the days you are on your period. The only time you are more fertile than usual is when you are ovulating (when the egg has been released from the ovary and begins traveling down the fallopian tubes). So, this means you can get pregnant during ANY day of your regular cycle equally and you have more chance of becoming pregnant during ovulation.
Ovulation tends to last a couple of days. Usually sometime during this travel is when the egg becomes fertilized and it attaches to your uterine wall when it reaches your uterus. Sometimes the egg is fertilized in the uterus; sometimes the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube way too early and a baby begins to grown in the tube (which can cause MAJOR issues and can be very dangerous).
It can be very difficult to tell if you're ovulating or not if you're not keeping a very close track on your daily discharge and internal temperature. Many things can also throw off your regular ovulation cycle such as: stress, hormonal birth control, antibiotics, weight changes, and major diet changes. Don't be fooled, it is very hard to keep track of these things properly so it is a VERY unreliable birth-control method (even if you buy the books on it and all).
To shortly answer your question, you would continue to have your period for the rest of that normal cycle, most likely. The next month you would probably miss your period entirely; although, some women do spot a little at the beginning of their pregnancy.
I hope I've helped you out in understanding how your body works. If you have any other questions regarding this matter feel free to ask me :)

Although it is unlikely that you will get pregnant while on your period, it is not entirely impossible (everyone is different). There is no way to know for certain if you would continue to menstruate after conception (getting pregers), this is rare. In the regular 28 day menstrual cycle, the woman ovulates(releases an egg) in the middle, around the 14th day. The 1st day of your period starts the 1st day of your cycle. By keeping track of your cycles you can estimate when the best chances of conceiving are. If you had unprotected sex only while you were on your period, Then you are probably not pregnant.
If not trying to conceive, use protection and keep track of aunt flow.

yes and you might even have a spotty the next month.
