Can you get pregnant on your period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, although it's not very likely. If you have sex without using contraception, you can conceive (get pregnant) at any time during your menstrual cycle, even during or just after your period.

I'm really trying to understand what's happening with my body. My period is now 5 days late, and I've taken a home pregnancy test twice, but both times it was negative. I've noticed some white vaginal discharge and it sometimes burns. I'm also feeling really tired all the time, have some lower back pain, and I'm just generally frustrated. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Given your symptoms, consider taking a blood pregnancy test (beta hCG) for more accurate results, and consult your gynecologist to rule out other conditions, such as yeast infections (causing discharge and burning), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances, which may be contributing to your fatigue, back pain, and frustration, and also discuss fertility options and potential underlying causes for delayed conception.

My wife's 24 weeks pregnant, and she's dealing with a runny nose, sneezing, and a headache. Before she got pregnant, her doctor said she could use Nasonex nasal spray. Now we're not sure if it's safe for her to take it. Can you advise on whether it's okay for her to use Nasonex during pregnancy?
