Hi, I'm a lurker here, but I had a quick question: can you get pregnant when you're on your period? I was "intimiate" with my bf a couple of weeks ago, and later that day, I started my period. Usually, I have a light cycle, but this one was really heavy. Also, I've noticed that my boobs are sore/tender, and I'm peeing a lot more than I used to.

Can I be pregnant, or is getting pregnant while on your period just a myth?

Thanks!

I most certainly got pregnant while on my period.

I had sex during it, and then somehow I ovulated

on the 5th day of it. I knew right away what was

going to happen. Your case is different, I don't

think you could ovulate before your period starts,

or right at the beginning like that. I'd say you

have a very slight chance, but not very probable

at all.

Thanks for the info! I'll be looking out for other symptoms!
