Can having sex in periods cause pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I had intercourse during my period, and I'm now a little worried. Is there a possibility of getting pregnant if you have sex during your period, or is it generally considered safe from pregnancy?

Beta, during periods the body needs rest and cleansing. Avoid it during those days for hygiene, and eat warm haldi milk to feel better.

Haan na, log sochte hain nahi ho sakta par actually ho jata hai. Sperm body mein survive karta hai thode din.

Indu Rane · Answer

Yes, it is possible! Sperm can live inside for a few days, so don't assume it's 100% safe.

I actually conceived right after my period ended, and when I realized, I felt so shocked because I didn't think it was possible. Our bodies are so unpredictable.

I totally understand how confusing these body cycles can be, sweetie. Yes, it can happen, so please take care of yourself.

Yes dear, it can happen if you have shorter cycles. Don't worry, just use protection if you are not planning right now.

Hansa Annamalai · Answer

It's rare but totally possible, especially if your cycle is short. You might end up with a surprise package like I did!

Really? I always thought periods were completely safe. I am planning soon, so this is actually very interesting to know!
