    It's possible, but doubtful if she had her period.

    If you are not ready to be a parent, I suggest you start wearing a raincoat.

    When a woman has a period she's shedding the endometrial lining of the uterus. A period is part of a menstrual cycle, which is preparing your body for pregnancy for each month. So, yes and no. Depends on when her period is, what days you have unprotected sex, and how fertile you are.

    My suggestion: Start wearing a condom, and educate yourself about the human reproductive system.

    This is factually incorrect as the womb is the placenta and is not developed until well into pregnancy, usually about 12 weeks is when the womb/placenta is fully developed.

    I think what uhhleesha was trying to say is that a period is the shedding of the endometrial lining of the uterus, not the womb itself.
