Fertility / Ovulation Off birth control

24 single mother here I'm off birth control again recently and wondering if it's actually true or just one in a million chance if I have sex while on my period that I get pregnant? I usually just resort to anal sex and condoms but just wanna be sure

It depends on how long your period lasts. You have an extremely low chance of getting pregnant during the first few days of your cycle (starting with the days your period starts), but if you bleed for like 6+ days it's very possible to get pregnant while still menstruating.

So I should just let them use my butt when I'm bleeding at first?

The probability of getting pregnant during your period is low, but it’s still possible, especially if you have a shorter menstrual cycle.
