A member asked:

Since your uterine lining sheds during your period, having unprotected sex days leading up to your period wont end up in pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some basics: Pregnancy has occasionally been documented at any day of a woman's cycle including during menses. It is not common but can happen. If it matters I would not use this time interval as if it were free from the possibility of pregnancy.
