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 49 and have an anteverted bulky uterus measuring 101x59 mm. The myometrium shows two anterior wall fibroids 46x40 mm and 30x20 mm. Do I need surgery for this, or are there other treatment options I can consider?
