Hi XXXXX

Hope you are doing well.

You cannot get pregnant while you are on periods.

Yes, you get the right result with preganews test while you take it in your periods. However, it is unnecessary expenditure for you since you cannot get pregnant while menstruating.

You are not pregnant. Please relax.

Hope this clarifies. Take care!

what happen of that sperm which inserted in vagina during my 3 rd day of periods by sex? . and can sperm live 3 days in the body so it is living in my body or not during periods?

Answered by Dr. Shanthi E (14 hours later)

Hi,

The sperm that was released into your vagina during the 3rd day of your period lives for 24 hours. However, since you do not have an egg or ovum during the time of your periods, the sperm dies after 24 hours.

No, sperm cannot live for 3 days in your body.

Take care!
