Can I also get pregnant while having my period?
For a woman to get pregnant a ripe egg has to unite with
a sperm from a man. A ripe egg, which is not fertilised,
dies and at the same time the lining, which developed in
the uterus to receive the fertilised egg breaks down.
The egg and the lining then move through the vagina
together as menstrual blood.
Menstruation is a sign that the egg has not been
fertilised and therefore died. Normally, there is no
other egg ready to be fertilised at the time of the
menstruation and in this case there is no danger of
getting pregnant. However, sometimes mistakes happen
in the menstrual I cycle and there is a ripe egg ready to
be fertilised, in spite of you having your period.
Although it is not very common, it is possible to get
pregnant even if you have your menstruation.
