Question
when can a girl get pregnant? when she's on her period or when she's not on her period?
Answer
A girl can get pregnant any time she has vaginal sexual intercourse without using birth control. Sperm can live inside a female for several days, making it almost impossible to predict pregnancy. However, a female is more likely to get pregnant when she is not having her period.
