Highly unlikely: This question comes up often about potential for becoming pregnant while menstruating. Though very rare, it can happen, usually when a woman has longer periods that last 7 days or more for example and then insemination happens on day 7 and you ovulate on day 11. Some women do ovulate earlier in their cycle and day 14 is by no means set in stone. So, a reliable birth control method may be best 4 U.

Not likely: a pregnancy test should be taken to be sure.

No: Pregnancy can only occur when sperm fertilizes an egg, which happens with intercourse.
