You are constantly in a menstrual cycle. It is the 28 days from the start of one period to the start of another. What I think you meant to ask is "Can you get pregnant during Menstruation?" Menstruation is your period. You can get pregnant during this time, but your chances are very low.

MaxineYes, it is possible to get pregnant during your menstrual cycle if you have a shorter cycle or if you ovulate early. Sperm can survive in the body for up to five days, so if you have unprotected sex near the end of your period, it is possible for them to fertilize an egg when ovulation occurs.

How does the uterus change during the menstrual cycle?
During the menstrual cycle, the endometrium of the uterus thickens in preparation for a possible pregnancy. If fertilization does not occur, the endometrium sheds during menstruation. The uterus also contracts to help expel the menstrual blood.
Can you see the egg in your menstrual cycle?
No, the egg itself is microscopic and cannot be seen during the menstrual cycle. The egg is released from the ovary during ovulation, which typically occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
Where does the ovum mature during your period?
The ovum matures in the follicle of the ovary during the menstrual cycle, not specifically during the period. During the menstrual cycle, the ovum matures within a follicle until it is released during ovulation.
What happens to the uterus during a menstrual cycle?
During a menstrual cycle, the uterus thickens its lining in preparation for a possible pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the uterus sheds this lining through menstruation. The cycle is controlled by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
What happens at the end of a menstrual cycle?
At the end of a menstrual cycle, the unfertilized egg is either absorbed by the body or expelled during menstruation. The lining of the uterus, which thickened in preparation for a possible pregnancy, sheds as menstrual bleeding. This marks the start of a new menstrual cycle.
