is it possible to conceive if you have sex during your period?

Sorry for tmi, but my period is a few days late, I'm quite tired, and that's definitely the only time I didn't use a condom. I thought that it was virtually impossible if you "did it" during your period.

It is if you ovulated before you stopped bleeding. Unlikely for most people but not impossible.

Yes, you can. Sperm can live for several days.

My friend did.

It depends how long your period lasts and when you ovulate.

Sperm can stick around inside you for up to 7 days

Therefore if you have sex on day 5 of your period, there might still be some feckers around on day 13

"Average" ovulation is day 14

so you can see how thigns can slip
