Can you get pregnant on your periord?

It is possible to get pregnant during your period, but it is less likely than at other times in your cycle. Here's why:

* Ovulation: You can get pregnant when you ovulate, which typically occurs around 14 days before the start of your next period. If your cycle is irregular, ovulation can happen at different times.

* Sperm Survival: Sperm can survive inside your body for up to 5 days. If you have intercourse in the days leading up to your period, the sperm may still be present when you ovulate.

* Short Cycles: Some women have short cycles, which means their period can start before they have fully finished ovulating.

* Bleeding: Some women experience spotting or light bleeding during ovulation, which can be mistaken for a period.

It's important to remember:

* Birth control: If you are using any form of birth control, it is still possible to get pregnant, though the chances are much lower.

* Unpredictable Cycles: If your cycles are irregular, it's harder to predict when you might ovulate.

* Protection: If you are concerned about pregnancy, use a reliable form of contraception, such as condoms or hormonal birth control.

The best way to prevent pregnancy is to use a reliable form of birth control and have regular checkups with your doctor.
