Yes you can get pregnant during your period, but your chances of getting pregnant during your period are slim. The best time for a woman to get pregnant is around the middle of her cycle, close to ovulation. For the average woman this is around cycle day 12 to 16. However, it is possible to get pregnant during your period and there are several reasons why.

Getting Pregnant During Period

Sperm can live for up to 5 days
Normally sperm can survive inside a woman’s body for around two to three days. However, under the best conditions, sperm can sometimes survive for as long as five days. So if a woman had unprotected sex during her period and then ovulated four or five days after she had sex, she could get pregnant.Early ovulation
Typically a woman ovulates around 14 days before the start of her period. So if you have an average 28 day cycle, you would most likely ovulate on cycle day 14. A woman’s cycle, though, is not always predictable. Even women who normally have regular cycles can have an off cycle and ovulate earlier or later than normal. If you ovulate very early in your cycle, for example, on cycle day 10, it would be possible to conceive if you had intercourse while on your period.

Long periods or irregular bleeding
Some women have very long periods or irregular bleeding after their period. If a woman had a long period, say it lasted for 10 days, and she had unprotected sex while she was still bleeding, she might get pregnant. Even though a woman is bleeding or spotting, it doesn’t mean she is not fertile. It is possible for a woman approaching ovulation to still be on her period. In fact, some women will begin producing fertile cervical mucous during the last few days of their periods. If a woman ovulates shortly after her period ends or while she is spotting, she could get pregnant.

Ovulation Spotting
Ovulation spotting is bleeding that occurs close to ovulation. It is very fertile cervical fluid and it is sometimes mistake for a long or abnormal period. Some women will have brown or red spotting right before they ovulate. This type of spotting provides the ideal environment for sperm to live in. If a woman has sex while she is having ovulation spotting, there is a good chance she could get pregnant.

pregnant-charting-methodGetting pregnant may sound easy enough, but for most of us, it can take some time and effort to achieve. Some women are lucky enough to get pregnant quickly,while others can take a year or more to achieve their goal. It can be very frustrating and discouraging if you are one of the many women that have a hard time conceiving.

It may seem like everyone else around you is getting pregnant at the drop of a hat, but you. Do not get discouraged if you are unable to conceive immediately. On average, a healthy couple will achieve their goal within six months to a year of trying. There are many things that you can do to help speed up the process of conceiving. By paying careful attention to your body, you can quickly learn how your individual cycle works and when you are most fertile.

Many women prefer to chart various aspects of their cycles.The most common charting methods involve keeping track of your basal body temperature (commonly referred to as BBT), cervical mucous and cervical position. The use of ovulation predictor tests, purchased at your local drugstore, can also help pinpoint your most fertile days.

What is Basal Body Temperature (BBT)?
Basal Body Temperature (BBT) is the temperature your body reaches early in the morning when at complete rest. Fluctuations in your basal body temperature are connected to the fluctuations of the body’s cyclical changes. By tracking your basal body temperature (BBT), you will be able to tell if you are ovulating regularly and on which day of your cycle you should have intercourse.
