'Can I get pregnant on my period?!' Answered

For most women, menstruation lasts between three and seven days. By the third day, levels of progesterone and estrogen are on the rise and working on rebuilding your endometrium. By the 4th day the ovaries are starting to prepare eggs for release. Unless you're a very early ovulator (the average timing for ovulation is 14 days before the start of your period) there's little chance your man's sperm will actually have any eggs to work with during this phase of your cycle. 

Your odds of conceiving: Almost nil. It's not detrimental to have intercourse, and it's a safe time to have sex! 

Pre ovulation : Remember, sperm can live up to five days if it's trapped in fertile cervical mucus, so if you have unprotected sex you're at a risk. 

Your odds of conceiving: Good. An egg isn't technically released during this phase but you'll want to use contraception in the event that you ovulate earlier than planned. 

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask me. As a side note I am not saying it's impossible to get pregnant on your period but it is very very unlikely x
