Dumb Question

If a girl has sex and she hasn't started her period (ever) there is no possible way she can get pregnant, right?

not exactly. Though most of the times what you said IS true.

a girl could be having her first period. and as ovulation occurs before the period, if a girl has sex then she could become pregnant.

I don't think it's possible for a girl to get pregnet if she's never had her period, unless she's like about ready to start... uhhhm... like.... It's kind of hard to explain... Depending on how far she is in puberty, it could be possible but very unlikely. ... I think it also depends on ovulation (when your body is making the highest amount of estrogen)... If someone was like right about to start their period, then I think it could be possible, but still very unlikely. I hope that helps, but I'm sure other people will be able to come up with better answers than I did...

A period is the walls of the uterus breaking down, because there has been no fertilised egg, which has attatched to it.

So, before your first period, you have to produce an egg which isn't fertilised.

The first egg released from the ovaries is usually of very poor quality (think of it like improving the more you do something).

If the egg has been produced, and then fertilised due to unprotected sex, before the walls have a chance to break down, then there is a chance of pregnancy before starting your period.

However, because the egg is so poor, there is a higher risk of complications during the early pregnancy. The egg might not even be strong enough to attach itself to the uterus walls, so you technically wont even be pregnant.

I know it wasn't asked, but if you haven't had a period then you shouldn't be having sex. Not only is your body not ready for it but it is VERY likely that you aren't emotionally ready for it either.

Obviously, I can't tell you what to do, but if you are going to have sex, think it through and be safe.
