Dear Counselor, suppose you had sex with a girl, a few minutes before she is scheduled to start menstruation, can she get pregnant?
Submitted by Counselor at SchoolNet on 10th April, 2009
Menstruation happens after the unfertilized egg dies and if indeed this egg is dead, then you may not make the girl pregnant. However, if this egg is not yet dead, a boy may get the girl pregnant and more so if it is an adolescent or teenager, most of whom whose cycles is not steady. Let us not forget that it is also hard to gauge how or what time exactly menstruation is really expected to start.
