Truth.
Is it true that you can only get pregnant when you're on your period? Considering, that your eggs release when your on your period and I've heard that you can only get pregnant when they release so does that mean that if you have sex on your period and the guy "busts" in you, that you have a better chance of getting pregnant than any other time of the month?

This is very false, You can get pregnant at anytime sperm comes in contact with your vagina.
Hope This Helps.

I don't know when the 'best time' to get pregnant is...
With that said... You _can_ get pregnant anytime. On your period, off your period, on the pill, off the pill... If you don't want to get pregnant use some sort of external protection.
That and you need to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.

This is very false, as you are not actually ovulating during or right before your period, but you can most definately become pregnant during this time as well as any other time during your cycle.
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 only a few days meaning about two or three) each cycle. 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. A man's pre-ejaculatory fluid can be hard to distinguish after engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse because it is a smaller quantity and is thinner. Men are not aware of when they release this pre-ejaculatory fluid so there is no way to stop it. Yes, it is likely it contacts sperm that can still impregnate you just the same.
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 extremely 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 loss and gain, and major diet changes.
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 :)
