Wondering if there's anyone out there who has gotten pregnant while on their period? I had sex on the second day of my period with no protection and now I'm thinking that wasn't too smart. I'm 23, so I could handle it if I was... it's highly unlikely, though, right?

Hope this helps:

"A woman can become pregnant from having sexual intercourse during menstruation. In fact, recent research conducted by the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that women have the potential to become pregnant at virtually any time during their cycle. While the chance of pregnancy is greater on certain days of a woman's cycle, it is never completely absent. "
