Pregnancy Lies

Don't believe these conceiving misconceptions.

You can't get pregnant when you're having your period.

Truth: Although ovulation and menstruation rarely happen simultaneously, sperm can live in your body for up to five days after sex. So if you ovulate soon after your period, the sperm may still be around and you could conceive.
