∙ 9y agoThere weren't days before tampons and pads - they've likely been around for as long as women have been (although remember early women would have spent most of their time pregnant or nursing, thus wouldn't menstruate often). Items like natural sponge, cotton, cloth, papyrus, moss, etc. have been used for tampons for thousands of years, rags as pads have been used often too.

Can a fifty year old woman on her period get pregnant?
Potentially, yes. If a woman is still menstruating then she still has viable eggs, although a woman may have a harder time getting pregnant so late in her reproductive life it is still possible. During menstruation pregnancy risks are lower because a woman will not ovulate during menstruation, although if a woman has a short menstrual cycle it is possible for there to be fertile quality cervical mucus present during menstruation. This mucus protects the sperm from the acidic pH of the vagina so it can survive for up to 7 days within the vagina, by which time menstruation may have ended and the woman may have ovulated.

They certainly can. That is an old myth which used to be believed because people did not understand menstruation and were afraid of it.

Menstruating women back in the old days were told they should not go to college, or do exercises or work in their garden, but today we know this is not true. So, feel free to work with your plants-- there is no credible evidence that your garden will be affected by your menstrual cycle.

A woman can only get pregnant if she has sex during ovulation or for the week prior when there is fertile cervical mucus present - but without tracking her cycles with FAM she can't know when she is fertile or not, so she must always assume she is fertile. Thus if a woman does not use birth control then she could get pregnant 17 days after her period.
