    A girl can get pregnant at any time.

    If shes on the pill and has been taking it for about a month, then the pill should be at full strength. The point of being on the pill is so you can have unprotected sex and not worry if she'll get pregnant. The effectiveness of the pill is about 96-99% IF USED PROPERLY!

    Firstly, by definition if you are on the pill, sex is clearly protected! The combined pill is 99.98% successful in preventing pregnancy, ( this includes the pill free days,) so in terms of contraceptive risk using a condom as well adds little, but it does reduce STI/STD risk.

    The myth that you cannot possibly get pregnant during your period, is however just that, a myth, and pregnancies have occured at this time. This is because intercourse inself can be a stimulus to ovulation.

    Your questions make clear that your knowledge of sex education in general is a bit lightweight. Can I suggest this site, for general education and questions about sex.

    YES, since a girl can ovulate right after her period. Ovulation is when an ovary releases an egg. If you have unprotected sex and there is sperm in the vagina that could live up to 7 days(maximum) this could equate to: early ovulation + sperm inside = you do the math.

    Well, it depends on how the woman use the pill. If she is skipping it, then a higher chance of getting pregnant may occur, eventhough she failed to take it to what its prescribed.

    yes you can get pregnant having sex on your period. Its hard as you are not very fertile- but sperm can live days in the body after sex so conception can occur after intercourse. Be careful!! Use contraception always if not wanting to conceive. If you want to know more look it up online or ask your doctor.

    If the female takes her pill correctly and according to the instructions in the pack and your doctor than it is a very reliable method of contraception.

    Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/mjG2T

    Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

    Yes, you can get pregnant if you have sex during your period.

    If you're on the pill, the chances of getting pregnant are very, very small.

    Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info/

    infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.

    If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).

    two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.

    Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

    If you had unprotected sex while using birth control pills - change for pregnancy is 2-5%.

    If you had sex during menstruation (first 3-5 days) - chance for pregnancy is 0.2%

    If you had sex during menstruation+pills - your chances are 0%

    Yes you can get pregnant if you have your period. The pill works most of the time about 4% of the time it doesnt.

    rare but yes it is possible particularly if she has not had sex before or for some time.

    if she is on the pill and is taking it correctly then the probability of getting pregant is 1 in 1000 - however she must also use condoms for the first month as the pill does not give protection for the first month.
