A member asked:
I had unprotected sex approximately a week before my period. i had a regular cycle and about a week later i became pregnant, why is this if during your period, the uterine lining sheds?

Translation: Pregnancy has occasionally been documented at any day of a woman's cycle including during menses. It is not common but can happen. If enough uterine lining remains to support the incoming conceptus ( which is quite tiny) and continues to form fast enough to support the embryo it will proceed to a normal pregnancy.
