To answer your question, let me explain what the hymen is.
The hymen a thin membrane that surrounds the opening to the vagina. Hymens can come in different shapes. The most common hymen in young girls is shaped like a half moon. This shape allows menstrual blood to flow out of a girl’s vagina.
An imperforate hymen is a thin membrane that completely covers the opening to the vagina. Menstrual blood cannot flow out of the vagina. This usually causes the blood to back up into the vagina which often develops into an abdominal mass and abdominal and/or back pain. Some teens may also have pain with bowel movements and difficulty passing urine.
If you do not have an imperforate hymen, you have no problems passing blood during your period and your partner has no problem inserting his penis into your vagina.
Your hymen is always there, before, during and after pregnancy.
You can become pregnant when you have unprotected vaginal intercourse, that is penetration with ejaculation, any time around ovulation.
