What's Going On Down There? Answers to Your Period Questions

Safe Sex

Q. What are my chances of getting pregnant if I have sex on my period?

A. Your pregnancy risk is lower if it really is your period. Some women have light bleeding when they ovulate and think they are safe, when it is in fact their most fertile time. Make sure you know your cycle, and what is normal for you. If you're regular every 28 days like clockwork then you know it's your period and you're fine.
