Yes, it is possible to get pregnant on your period but it is not very common. Whether you are trying to get pregnant or looking for ways to avoid pregnancy while engaging in sex, a common question is whether or not you can have sex and get pregnant on your period? Chances are that you will likely not get pregnant after having intercourse during your menstrual cycle.

In order to get pregnant there needs to be a viable egg for the sperm to penetrate after ejaculation. While it is possible for there to be a viable egg during your period, it is not very common since your period is a result of your egg being discarded. Whether you are on your period or not, it is best to use protection during this time to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
