Definitely. You cannot become pregnant when you are having your period.
Let me explain with some basic facts.
The menstrual cycle is regulated by the complex interaction of hormones: luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone .
Ovulation, which occurs mid-cycle, is when a mature egg is released. You are most likely to become pregnant five days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation.
When you are having your period, ovulation has long past; there is no egg to fertilize.
In the absence of pregnancy, the estrogen level decreases, the top layers of the lining break down and are shed, and menstrual bleeding occurs.

Period equals no pregnancy.
