Question:
is it true that if you have unprotected sex while during your period and the man ejaculates inside of you, is your risk of becoming pregnant less? what if you were on birth control in the same situation?

Answer:

If you have unprotected sex during your period, there is a chance that you will become pregnant. (And you are certainly at risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection). If you are taking birth control pills regularly (one pill a day, every day), than you will not become pregnant. However, even if you are on birth control pills, you are still at risk of getting an STD. Hope this information helps...
