Having unprotected sex at any time is risky. Along with the risk of getting pregnant !

The short answer to this question is - Yes ! Yes, a girl can get pregnant during her period. This might happen when:

- A girl has bleeding that she thinks is a period, but it's bleeding from ovulation . Ovulation is the monthly release of an egg from a girls ovaries. It is the time when she is most likely to get pregnant if she has sex.

- Ovulation happens before the bleeding from a girl's period has stopped.

- Ovulation happens within a few days after a girl's period is over. Sperm can fertilize an egg for 3 days. So if a girl has sex on the last day of her period and ovulates in the next few days, the sperm may still fertilize the egg.

If you do have sex, use a condom every time to protect against unplanned pregnancy.
