u stupid article!y can u so sure about your answer,i just dont know!
The simple answer is: yes.
The more complex version...:
Nothing is 100% safe in keeping you pregnant except not having sex. A condom and birth control used together only add to 98% or 99%. The pull out method is not a birth control method, and only works about 65% of the time. The penis is covered in pre to wetten the vagina to allow for easier movement inside and to counter the acidity of the vaginal fluids. This pre has sperm in it. Sperm can live for up to five days inside the woman's body.
And yes, we all know that the chances of getting pregnant on your period are lower than when you're not on your period, but there are some factors to concider:
"Typically a woman ovulates around 14 days before the start of her period. So if you have an average 28 day cycle, you would most likely ovulate on cycle day 14. A woman’s cycle, though, is not always predictable. Even women who normally have regular cycles can have an off cycle and ovulate earlier or later than normal. If you ovulate very early in your cycle, for example, on cycle day 10, it would be possible to conceive if you had intercourse while on your period."

"An egg can survive in your fallopian tube for about 24 hours after it's released from the ovary. So the only way you can get pregnant is if sperm are present in your fallopian tube during this window of opportunity. If the egg isn't fertilized, it's shed along with your uterine lining during your period.
Typically, when you have your period, another egg is developing in preparation for release during the current cycle. But not every woman's cycle length is the same. Many women have a cycle that's about 28 days long, but some have cycles as short as 22 days long. If you have a shorter cycle, you could ovulate just a few days after you have your period. And considering that sperm can survive in your reproductive tract for up to three days, it's theoretically possible for the sperm to hang around until you ovulate again."

Add these together and you get an egg coming in contact with sperm even AFTER your period because one was already made and waiting, and the sperm survived the period. This is just ONE POSSIBLE OUTCOME.
My mom got pregnant in this same situation (and here I am!). The best possible things for you to do is to get a pregnancy test or two and go to your doctor! The cravings and sickness MAY BE A SIGN.
I hope this helps.
Please stop spreading false information. There is always a chance to get pregnant - yes, at certain times of the cycles the chances decrease and at other times they increase BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE!!
