Q: Can I get pregnant if I have sex during my period?
Technically not - but I can tell you that I did have unprotected sex with my husband - being very, very cavalier- as my period was ending and the doctor (my hubbie) and I were convinced that I was "safe" - needless to say I was pregnant the next month and have a 24 year old to prove it!! Never say never and always use protection and by the way for these readers out ther - breastfeeding and therefore "not having a period yet" is also not surefire protection against pregnancy - you can get pregnant even if you did not begin to menstruate yet post delivery.
