Hello Anon,

In few words: Yes, your friend can get pregnant.

This question has been answered extensively here:http://kidshealth.org/teen/expert/periods/pre_period.html

Please make sure you and your friend both read the response and remind her that protection such as a condom not only protects from pregnancy but also from STDs and HIV.

Best,

Rosa
