It is possible to get pregnant during menstruation. If it is toward the end of her period and she has relatively short cycles, she could get pregnant on day 5 or 6 of her period. Probably not on day 1 or 2 but I think you are pushing the envelope to make her do it when she's bleeding heavily just to avoid pregnancy.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
