Is it possible for someone to get pregnant if that person has sex during her mensuration period?

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant if a woman has sex during her menstruation period.

Because sperm can live for days inside a woman after intercourse, there is a possibility that she could ovulate after her period and this sperm could fertilize the egg.
