Period talk: Questions and advice
in Women's Health ·
Hey!
When it comes to getting pregnant while you're actually on your period, it's pretty much a long shot.
The odds are incredibly slim because of how your hormone levels fluctuate and the way the uterine lining sheds—basically, there's no cozy spot for an egg to settle in if it actually gets fertilized.
Honestly, your best bet is to start tracking your fertile window. You can easily do this right from your computer; just search "fertile days" on Google, and it'll probably pull up a calculator or a site like treasury.gov or something similar where you can plug in your dates and get a precise idea for every month.
