I'm not having a pregnancy scare
I've never had piv sex
But I was wondering if it's possible to get pregnant if you have sec during your period and if it is What is the likelihood of it happening
I searched the main site and did not find an answer to this
Thank you for the reply

Sex during a period can result in pregnancy, although it is less likely than at other times during the menstrual cycle. In order for pregnancy to happen, it's not just sperm that are needed: there has to be an egg there to fertilize in the first place, which doesn't happen during a period (but which can happen shortly after a period stops). So, if someone has sex during their period, AND enough viable sperm remain in the uterus and fallopian tubes until after that period is over, AND then ovulation happens very soon after that, then pregnancy would be possible, but it's unlikely for all of those things to happen.

Does that make sense?

Yes thanks a lot
So even though possible
It's unlikely

Yep, it's possible but unlikely.

Thank you

You're welcome.
