This might sound like a silly question but i genuinely dont know. We were intimate during my periods this month and now im just curious if pregnancy is even possible that time. Anyone know?
Chances are low but not zero. The myth that periods mean fully safe is wrong, especially for women with shorter or irregular cycles. If you want to avoid pregnancy, dont rely on timing alone.
Technically yes, the odds are lower during menses but it can happen due to sperm survival and early ovulation. For anything related to contraception or planning, it's worth a clear chat with your gynac rather than guessing safe days.
With irregular cycles like mine, honestly you cant predict the safe days well at all, so I'd never assume periods are protection. Better to use a proper method and not depend on cycle timing.
My doctor said yes it's possible, less likely but possible, especially if you have a short cycle. Sperm can survive a few days, so if you ovulate soon after a short period it can overlap. So periods are not a guaranteed safe time.
