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.

View allI'm curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?
Yes, PCOS can cause scanty periods. Reduced estrogen levels, thinning of the uterine lining, and increased androgen levels can contribute to lighter, shorter periods. Other possible causes include: - Hormonal imbalance - Ovulation issues - Insulin resistance - Stress - Weight changes

I recently got an ultrasound and found out that my ovaries are enlarged with lots of small cysts around the edges. One of my ovaries is 8mm3 in volume and the other is 10mm3. How serious is this? Is it something I should be worried about or need medical attention for? My periods have been on time and my thyroid levels are normal, so I'm a bit confused about what this means for my health.

I'm worried about the effects of taking the i-pill or Unwanted 72 almost every time I have sex. Could this affect my ability to get pregnant in the future, or are there any health risks I should be aware of?
