Hi,
You would have no chance of pregnancy since your menstrual period has started. It does not matter if it is a little late or a little early...it is still your menstrual period and indicates that you are not pregnant.
Not sure if you know this, but even by being "really careful" when using the "pull out" method (also known as "withdrawal method") only provides a moderate amount of birth control protection. Some couples have been successfully using this birth control method for years (so it is possible when both partners are diligently using this method with "perfect use"). I just wanted you to know that with typical use (most people), the effectiveness rate is about 70-80% (prevention of pregnancy), compared to 98-99% for other methods (condoms, hormonal contraception).
But, to answer your question: you do not have a risk for pregnancy once your menstrual period begins (your uterine lining is being shed during menses, and happens when an egg was not fertilized).
