A member asked:

If i have sex while on my period, when should i take a pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No real need to: If you had sex during an expected period you are probably not ovulating therefore can't get pregnant. The natural family planning method uses this timing to prevent pregnancy using your natural cycle.
