If it 's truly your menstruation (defined as 2 weeks after ovulation)
you cannot get pregnant. If it's bleeding that looks like menstruation
but may not be, it's a different story. If you don't kinow if you
ovulated or when, no way of knowing then.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
