Yes, you can get pregnant the first time, even if you haven't started menstruating. There are lots of myths about this topic. The truth is, a girl can get pregnant even if she is on her period, she douches after sex, doesn't have orgasms, has sex standing up, or the partner drinks a specific brand of soda pop, etc. It is even possible to get pregnant without having sexual intercourse, if semen (containing sperm) is deposited near the vaginal opening, like on the outside of underwear.

Can I become pregnant without having sex?

Sexual health FAQ (frequently asked questions) - Island Sexu...
You can’t get pregnant through oral sex, or through masturbation. But if you are fooling around with your partner and there is any genital contact, especially where fluid is involved, there is a chance that you can become pregnant. This can even happen if he touches his own semen and then touches your vagina with his hands. If you want to make sure that you don’t become pregnant, make sure you use a condom, or avoid having contact with his genitals and fluids.

Can you get pregnant from anal sex?

Join Peer Ed!
Yes, you can get pregnant from unprotected anal sex. What goes in the anus must come out. The distance between your anus and vaginal opening is relatively small. The lubrication that occurs in women when they are aroused works like flaggers at an airport for the sperm to find the egg. There is a chance that the sperm will enter the vagina after exiting the anus and the woman can indeed become pregnant. You should always use protection when engaging in any form of intercourse!

Can I get pregnant if I have sex during my period?

Sexual Frequently Asked Questions
YES, Yes, Yes! A lot of people think that if a woman has sex during her period, she can't get pregnant. Even though this is a common belief, you CAN get pregnant while you are bleeding. Sometimes ovulation can occur before the bleeding from your period has stopped, or it may occur within a few days after your period is over. In both cases, having sex before your period is finished can result in pregnancy. Having unprotected sex at any time, including when you're menstruating, is very risky.

Can I get pregnant by swallowing the semen during oral sex?

Sexual health FAQ (frequently asked questions) - Island Sexu...
No, you can’t. Swallowing semen is the same as eating something that ends up in your digestive system—it can’t make you pregnant because your mouth doesn’t connect with your reproductive system. Remember though, that you can get a sexually transmitted disease through oral sex if your partner is infected, so you should use a condom or dental dam during oral sex.

Chances could be less likely, however, when you are on your period. Most women, if they have a normal 28 day cycle, usually ovulate, or release an egg, 10-14 days from the first day of her period. This would be the time when a woman is most likely to get pregnant. This is not applicable if she does not have a regular cycle.

Pre-ejaculate may contain sperm as well as the bacteria and viruses that cause sexually transmitted infections (STI). Many males are not aware of when the pre-ejaculate is released, so there is no way to know when to pull the penis away.

NYU > Wellness Exchange > Frequently Asked Questions A...
Yes, it is possible to become pregnant from vaginal intercourse during menstruation. This is especially likely when the menstrual cycle is brief (e.g. 21-22 days). Because sperm can live up to seven days in the cervical mucus of a woman's vagina and ovulation can occur within a few days of the last day of a woman's period (in a short cycle), it is possible for fertilization to take place.

I know that I can get pregnant at any time, but when is conception most likely?

The average fertility cycle for ovulating women starts at the beginning of one menstrual period (day 1) continuing through mid-point ovulation (day 12-14) and ending at the start of the following menstrual period (day 28). Ovulation is an egg moving from an ovary and into a fallopian tube. If the egg is not fertilized, after it has passed through the fallopian tube it is discarded by the body during the next menstrual period.
