A woman cannot become pregnant as a result of anal sex directly, although if any sperm leaks from the anus and enters the vagina, pregnancy could occur.

Anyone wanting to try anal intercourse should be 100% that their partner willing too, as the idea of anal sex makes many people very uncomfortable.

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!

The anal opening leads to the rectum (the storage area for feces prior to defecation). This is part of the digestive system and is not connected to the reproductive system. Therefore, sperm entering the anus cannot reach the egg in the reproductive tract. However, if ejaculated semen is near the opening of the vagina and that semen happens to trickle inside, a pregnancy could occur. Sexually transmitted infections (STI) can also be spread through anal sex.

Frequently Asked Questions About HIV/AIDS
Yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. Not having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. If people choose to have anal sex, they should use a latex condom. Most of the time, condoms work well. However, condoms are more likely to break during anal sex than during vaginal sex. Thus, even with a condom, anal sex can be risky.

What about anal sex?

Adult Happy :: Sexy Condom + Sexy Lingerie :: FAQ on Condom
Again, yes. Anal sex is one of the most high-risk things you can do in terms of STIs, and it won't necessarily stop a woman getting pregnant. Anal sex can put more strain on a condom, so you can use stronger ones but standard ones are just as effective if used correctly with plenty of lubricant not containing Nonoxynol 9.

Can a woman get pregnant during her period?

TCOYF Fertility FAQs
The answer lies in the wording of the question. More precisely, it is essentially impossible for a woman to get pregnant during her period, but on rare occasions it is possible for a woman to get pregnant from intercourse during her period. Since sperm can live for five days, a couple could have sex near the end of the woman's period, and the sperm could then live long enough to fertilize an egg several days later, if the woman had a very early ovulation.

Pregnancy FAQ: American Pregnancy Association
Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a “normal” period. Some women can confuse this for their period because often it can come right around the time she was expecting her normal period. The irregular bleeding or spotting that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown color or a light pinkish. It should not be enough bleeding to fill pads or tampons over a few days.
