I hope none of u feel grossed out if I talk about this, because one of the 1st eps I saw was David's Regeneration, and this question has been plauging me ever since. What happens to Gallfreyan women when they rengerate during their menstration/pregnecy? Defertilzation, twins, stillbirth, etc.?

I don't think it's ever been addressed. The only female Timelord that we've seen regenerate was Romana with Doctor 4. It was a very strange scene that is still the source of some fan contoversey.

Of course they can breed! The Doctor's always going on about how he was a father. His original companion was his grandaughter Susan. What did you think they did? I mean they probably can't breed with humans but that would be because they're not the same species.
Seriously, I've never heard anything in the entirety of the show to indicate that they don't procreate in somthing like the usual manner. Also, Timelords aren't so much a species as a class or an advancement of the basic Galifreyan. All Timelords are Gallifreyan. Not all Gallifreyans are Timelords.
As to the regenerating while pregnant thing. First, Since they seem to be very aware of thier bodies and thier functions (Ten can feel that he has a mole on his back) so I'd imagine they would know when they became pregnant and try to go about things in a manner that didn't involve risking their lives. But as to what would happen if such a thing did happen, I really don't know.

No the Doctor was the last of his species to be naturally born, and fertile. The rest of them are tube children

There's a lot of debate about this amongst fans.
One theory insists that Gallifreyans are "loomed," meaning they're literally woven together by these... thingies. I dislike this theory, personally, as it is odd, nonsensical, and doesn't fit very well into the series. Though I do accept that fertility had become an issue and children may not have been conceived and carried in the traditional manner.
Also... as far as inter-breeding with humans, it's guaranteed that Time Lords have a different genetic make-up. Which means that, even if it were similar enough to produce an offspring, the offspring would likely be sterile due to differences in chromosome counts. I've also seen it stated in a few places that Time Lords have triple- or even quadruple-helix DNA.
Anyway, I'm with gorramKayna on this one. There's never been an indication that they can't breed. All Time Lords are Gallifreyan, not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords. And Time Lords exhibit a mind-boggling awareness and control over their own bodily functions and systems. So I would expect a pregnant Time Person to avoid situations that would potentially lead to regeneration. And on a morbid note, it's likely that if the Time Person has undergone an event that would require regeneration... the fetus would have already perished or been fatally effected, making all of this rather... moot.
Though, if you want to venture into the happier, sci-fi-ier train of thinking, it's possible that Time Lord physiology and technology could insulate and maintain a fetus throughout a regeneration.
Basically, I think what it comes down to is....... Nobody knows. smile So let your imagination go wild.

so from what I understand from my 5 years of total obsession with Doctor Who is that all Time Lords are steril and only breed threw looming witch is sort of like cloneing exept they take DNA from multiple Time Lords and stick it together.
Aperently the way Rassilon created the time lords was by takeing Gallifrian DNA and adding two strands to it. These two strands allowed them to sense time and regenerate and all that jazz.
The Doctors granddaughter (according to the old series) was actually Rassilon granddaughter however by random chance the doctor looked exactly the same in his first form as Rassilons first form and susan mistook him for Rassilon and They developed a relationship and when she found out she didn't really care.
Also according to what I've read about the old series the time lord council limited the race to 600 with 10 females and 590 males... thats not to good for reproduceing.
However there is also the fact that the new series and the old series have continuity errors like swiss cheese has holes so all of this may have been totaly thrown out with the comeing of the 2005 series and indeed at least the part about The Doctors grandaughter seems to have been.

time lords and lady from what i have seen a much like us anatomically speaking, and i assume he is a mammal, even if alien, so i think that they breed the same way we breed, and if a time lady was pregnant when in regeneration, i suppose her child would be healed if hurt as well, his features might be changed but i think the tiny time lord/lady would be okay

Gallifreyans/Time People were able to reproduce sexually until the Pythia's curse cause them all to be sterile, thus the Looms were created to keep up the population. By the Doctor's 7th regeneration, the curse was lifted. http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Pythia

Cadenza of the Heart Gallifreyans/Time People were able to reproduce sexually until the Pythia's curse cause them all to be sterile, thus the Looms were created to keep up the population. By the Doctor's 7th regeneration, the curse was lifted. http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Pythia Yes, but that's from the Virgin New Adventures, which technically isn't canon. It's only canon in that universe, it hasn't been confirmed as truth in the main universe, but it hasn't been dis-confirmed, so. I've also wondered about that too. I guess it would be easier to tell if we knew whether regeneration is natural for Gallifreyans, or if it is only for Timelords; if it's the former, I would suppose the pregnancy has some way of continuing as normal, if it's the latter however, I would guess it would kill or have some other serious consequences for the fetus.
