Question:
Recently,my boyfriend and i had sex while on my period. we thought it wouldnt really matter if he came inside me since the whole reason i had my period was because my egg was not fertilized. is it possible to get pregnant if a guy comes inside you even if you are on your period? my boyfriend came inside me at least four times. and if it is possible can you please explain to me how it is because i have no idea how it can happen. please respond to me as soon as possible. thank you very much.

I'm truly sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you. I can understand your concerns and your real need to know. Right off the bat, let me say that while it isn't common, it is possible to get pregnant while having your period. Each month, one of your ovaries releases an ovum ("egg"). It will hang around and wait for a sperm to make contact and fertilize it. When that doesn't happen, the body gets rid of all that was built up (endometrium)- that's your period.
However, sperm can live inside a woman's body for up to 5 days. Also, a cycle isn't exactly the same all the time; they tend to vary between 28 and 32 days. It's possible for a new ovum to be release while your period is still happening. If there is viable sperm inside when that new ovum is released, fertilization can occur. So it's really impossible to tell exactly when "safe" days are so protection should really be used consistently.
Good luck to you. Again, I apologise for the delay in answering but I wish you all the best, now and in the new year.
Take care and be well.
