A member asked:
Can you get pregnant on your period if you are wearing a tampon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: Understand, having sex while having a tampon in does not protect from pregnancy! it is likely to get jammed up the vagina and be difficult to get out afterward. I don't recommend sex with a tampon in place. Second, women are not very fertile during the period. That being said if you are having sex and not wanting to get pregnant - use an effective form of birth control.
