Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
The only way to become pregnant when having unprotected intercourse during your period; is if the sperm lives until you ovulate. However, women usually ovulate about 12-15 days after their period. Sperm only lives 4 or 5 days in the body. So, the chances of sperm living in the body until ovulation are very slim.
You can always that an emergency contraception pill. You can get them at the drug store. Be aware that common side effects include:
--bleeding a few days later (not your regular period)
--nausea
--cramping
--tender breasts
I hope that helps.
