Yes, although it is biologically impossible to get pregnant during menstruation, a woman can get pregnant as a result of sex during menstruation. Let me explain...

During menstruation a woman will not ovulate, however if a womans menstrual cycle is short she may be producing fertile quality cervical mucus during menstruation. This mucus protects sperm in the vagina and helps it to swim up through the cervical opening to reach the fallopian tubes, where it can lay in weight for the egg during ovulation - sperm can survive up to a week in these conditions, by which time menstruation could stop and she could ovulate.

If sexually active you should always use Birth Control, unless you use fertility awareness methods you have no way of knowing when a woman is fertile or not.
