Can pregnancy happen if you had sex during menstruation?

Question

This might sound silly but i genuinely dont know. We were not planning anything and it happened during my periods. Now im a bit tensed thinking is there even a chance? pls share if anyone knows.

It's less likely during periods but not impossible, especially if u have a short cycle, since sperm can live a few days and reach a fertile day. So small chance yes. If period is late next month, just take a test to be sure.

Low chance but possible. Test if ur next period is late.

The chance is low but never say zero, ovulation timing varies between women. Dont assume u are safe just because it was during periods. If u want to avoid pregnancy, use proper protection and ask a doctor about options.
