How fertile is a teenager?

Question

I have heard that teenagers are very fertile. SUch as ovulate more than once a month. Is that true? How likely would a 17 year old get pregnant while on her period.

Just wondering how fertile that could be? I know their bodys are prolly more fertile than 40 year old but what are the chances of lets say a 16, 17, or 18 year old girl to get pregnant such as while they are on their period. Would it be even possible if they have a long cycle? say 35 days? Could they still ovulate more than once a month?

Answer 1

every female has the same fertility as any normal female

Answer 2

no there is no such thing as being more fertile and teenagers ovulating more.   You ovulate ONCE a month, hence the period once a month.   Only one egg drops, then you get your period..   Its just that as you get older , your egg supply begins to run lower.  So the closer you are to menapause, you run out of eggs.  

Nope once a month for ovulation, unless you are some text book miracle, which hey isn't far fetched.  But then you would have your period ALOT.

Answer 3

You don't have to be a teenager to get pregnant while on your period.  It can happen to women of all ages!!!

Answer 4

Well, anything is possible... but, its unlikely for a woman to ovulate twice in one month.. it is possible, but unlikely.... no matter what age.

Now, to get pregnant while on your period with a 35 day cycle.. again, unlikely.  See, you ovulate 14 days before your period begins.. so a 35 day cycle woman would ovulate on cd 21.... so thats 21 days after the first day of your period and I doubt that your period lasts 21 days.... so the chances are extremely SLIM!

Answer 5

They are no more fertile than anyone else under the age of 35.   No they couldn't get pregnant while on their period, they could, obviously, still get a disease.   They aren't going to be ovulating while they are on their period.
