Bit of an awkward one but we werent careful and it happened during my periods. now im worried the whole time. honestly how likely is it actually? anyone been in this situation?
Actually, chances are low but not zero. It's rare but it can happen, especially if your cycle is shorter or irregular. It's always safer to use protection if you're not planning a baby, even during periods.
Amma always said periods time is safe, but my doctor told me that sometimes, it can happen depending on individual cycle. It is very rare for most women though. For full clarity, it is always good to speak with your gynaecologist.
Meri saas kehti thi ki periods mein toh bilkul chances nahi hote. But nowadays, doctors say it's possible for some. So it's better to be careful, beti. Don't take chances if you are not planning for baby.
I understand the confusion and the desire to be fully aware of your body's cycles. While the chances are typically very low during menstruation, it's not completely impossible. Always consult reliable information or your doctor if you're unsure.
When my little one was just a thought, I used to overthink everything about cycles and chances! Pregnancy during periods is generally very, very unlikely, but our bodies are wonderfully complex. Best to always be mindful and safe.
Technically, it's very low, especially during your heavy flow days. But if you have a very short cycle or irregular periods, it's not impossible since sperm can survive for a few days. My app always marked it as a 'low fertility' window, but 'low' doesn't mean 'zero'.
