Yes, it is possible to get pregnant while still bleeding from your period. This can happen if you have a shorter menstrual cycle and ovulate shortly after your period ends. Sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract for up to five days, so if you have unprotected sex during or near the end of your period, sperm may still be viable when you ovulate. For effective contraception, consider using protection consistently.
