Welcome - Welcome to myLot I believe and I may be wrong but the possibility is slim. However it could be possible as some menstrual cycles are not true cycles. Some pregnant women believe they have a regular menstrual cycle when it fact they are not not. But you never know it can happen as anything in life is possible, since there are no true tests to prove otherwise.

Is it true that not all bleeding is a real period for women? It is also said that women can also have spotting during ovulation and that would be a very easy time to get pregnant.

Absolutely it is true that is why the rhythm method is difficult to follow as some women mistaken spotting and a flow as a real menstrual period. So it can happen.

Yes, in certain cases it could happen. I personally know people who did. I was told it is because there could be an extra ovulation during period, and though it is not something which happens every month, there is a slim chance that it could happen.

I think you are correct, if a woman has a short menstrual cycle (about twenty-one days), then she could be ovulating on day seven of her cycle. If that so, this would be the seventh day from the first day of her period and if her period lasts seven days then it is possible that her period is ending just as she is ovulating.
