Can sperm survive in menstrual blood?

Women are not able to conceive whilst on their period, but sperm survives within the female reproductive system for up to five days. This means that a tiny fraction of women do have a small chance of becoming pregnant during their period.

So I've got a bit of a sensitive question. My friend just got married and she's kinda embarrassed but having some trouble staying wet during intercourse.
