Can girls have sex during their period?

Patient's question:

I'm living apart from my husband and rarely get to see him. This time, it happened to coincide with my period. We hadn't taken any precautions for two months, and he just inside me. I was on my third day, and I didn't feel any discomfort, but I wasn't sure if I might be pregnant.
What kind of help do I need: Can girls have sex during their period?

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: In your current situation, you will not get pregnant because the time you had sexual intercourse was exactly during your menstrual period. During menstruation, there is no ovulation, so you do not need to take emergency contraception.
