Woman Chat: Pregnant Period

redI’m on my period. Girl just put a towel down.

Stop, don’t put your guard down.

Having sex on your period can still result in pregnancy.  Whaaaaaat?!?  It’s unlikely, but possible.

Here’s a quick lesson.  Your period occurs when the lining of your uterus sloughs off after your released egg goes unfertilized after ovulation.  Most periods occur on a cycle of about 26-34 days and lasts for 2-7 days.

Buuuut.  That’s the normal rule, and we know women don’t always follow the same beaten path.  Some women have shorter cycles.  Just a two day shorter cycle can throw everything off.  Women with shorter cycles ovulate, menstruate for a full 7 days, have sex on that last day, and get pregnant.  Why?  This is because women with shorter cycles can ovulate as soon as 3 days after menstruation.  You may have had sex on your period, but sperm can survive inside you for up to 5 days, and still be swimming when you start ovulation.

Tips

– Always follow rule 1 of woman code and protect yourself.

– Know your cycle.

– Understand your body to know what is not normal.
