What exactly happens if you have sex during your period? Is there a chance you can get pregnant? Also, dont guys thing its gross for having sex while your bleeding? I would like girl and guy replies please(: its urgent.
Having sex on your period doesn't mean you're safe from pregnancy.
You are most fertile for about 1 to 3 days mid-cycle, for most women. This varies though. Many health women ovulation (release an egg to be fertilized during sexual intercourse) at different times in their cycle.
Most healthy women will find (through testing, exams, blood-work, and charting) that they ovulation almost exactly mid-way through their cycle. A normal woman has a 28 day cycle. That means she probaby ovulates on day 14. That means she can get pregnant even if she has sex on day 7 of her cycle.
The problem is that we're human.
We're not exactly predictable. A lot of the things we eat and what-not changes our fertility.
Take me for example:
I have a 28-day period. Exactly. On the dot.
I don't ovulate on day 14 though. I ovulate on day 20. That makes all the difference.
Now, sperm can live inside of the average woman for about 7 days, give or take a couple. This means that if I have sex on day 13 of my cycle I can get pregnant even though I won't be releasing an egg for another 7 days (day 20).
Day 20 is a lot different than Day 14.
Day 13 is a lot different than Day 7.
Because of this, MANY women get pregnant while they're having their periods. You cannot just force your body to ovulate whenever you want it to without using some sort of hormonal contraceptive (ie: birth control pills).
So, the way I see it, you have a 50/50 shot here. You may or may not be fertile during your period. It could be your peak fertility time for all we know.
You'd have to invest in quite a bit of time and effort to find out like I did. You have to really watch cervical mucus and temperature to chart differences. You have to purchase test kits for about 6 to 8 months. You have to see a doctor in regards to you fertility. Then, you'll have a better understanding just when you are fertile.
Some women will be fertile on day 14.
Some women will be fertile on day 10
Some women will be fertile on day 27.
Some women will be fertile on day 2.
How do you know? You just don't. You have to put a lot of time, effort, and money into finding out what your cycle patterns are. Even then, some women will find it completely unpredictable. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]

If your afraid of a mess, you can just do it in the shower. Everything just goes down the drain.
If you have sex, you will bleed more. Everything gets all stirred up down there.
kristamikele answered Tuesday August 31 2010, 10:27 pm: It is messy and very slippery. Most guys would choose not to have sex during period time, and if they say they have never done it before please don't be the first one to give it a try with them. You don't want to be remembered for that. you will have a very hard time enjoying it, anyway, because your mind will be on the mess the whole time. Also, it is a much bigger mess than you think. The 'action' down there seems to make the blood flow heavier, and blood doesn't only get on your genitals--it gets ALL OVER the place! [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]

Pregnancy is still possible during your period, because until it's over you don't know that the egg has been flushed. Usually once your period is over you're past the fertile time, but every woman is different and there are a ton of factors that can affect whether or not there's still an egg waiting and it can be fertilized and implant.
Guys who are used to regular sex (like me in a young marriage) won't miss it during the monthly break too much. Teenagers who treat every session of sex like something that may never come again might be a bit more flexible.

Hitoast answered Tuesday August 31 2010, 8:33 pm: Sex during your period is just like sex when it's not your period except, obviously, much more messy. It's actually the most likely time of the month for you to get pregnant, so be sure to take the appropriate precautions. Some guys do, some guys don't care. That's usually an issue that comes up with sexually active couples so you'll have to discuss it with your partner to decide what your preferances are.
