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.
There are some rare cases where girls never have menstruation at 19 years due to a illness.
The Bible does not specifically address engaging in sexual activity during menstruation.

They certainly can. That is an old myth which used to be believed because people did not understand menstruation and were afraid of it. Today we know it is a normal and necessary bodily function, and there are few things a woman or girl who is menstruating cannot do. 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.
Menstruation isn't something you suffer from, not unless there is an underlying health problem, as anything negative that can occur during menstruation is preventable if you learn how. The average age of menarche is 13 years old, anything up to 16 years old is normal to start menstruating.
Menstruation occur at the age of 9 to 16 years old
No, a woman cannot get pregnant on her period as there is no egg present to fertilize. It is however possible to get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation, if the womans cycle is short there may be fertile cervical mucus present during menstruation and thus sperm may survive long enough to still be around if she ovulate after her period.
A period, or menstruation, is the shedding of the endometrium - the uterine lining. Menstruation is also known as menses. All female humans, as well as some other female mammals, have regular periods during their reproductive age. Menstruation which includes bleeding from the vagina is found mainly among humans and similar animals, such as primates. In many mammals, the endometrium is reabsorbed by the animal. As far as humans are concerned a period is a bleed from the womb (uterus) that is released through the vagina. Women have a period every 28 days approximately. However, some women may have a 24-day cycle while other may have a 35-day one. A period is part of the woman's menstrual cycle. The word "menses" comes from the Latin menses meaning "months". The word "menstruation" comes from Old French menstrual, which comes from Latinmenstrualis, meaning "monthly," especially "of or having monthly courses."Medilexicon's medical dictionary describes menstruation as the "cyclic endometrial shedding and discharge of a bloody fluid from the uterus during the menstrual cycle of humans and primates".
The Bible says that a menstruating woman is unclean, and must be kept separate from clean people for seven days. It also says that any man who sees his wife naked while she is menstruating must also be excluded from society. Other cultures have similar tabus, the more primitive the belief system, the greater the fear.
