In number 5, poison, the pronoun "we" takes the verb "were." But, in this sentence, you would need to use "we ARE about to leave," because he (maybe a child or a dog...my dog always knows when I put my shoes on that I am about to leave) knows they ARE about to leave when they put their shoes on, not that they WERE about to leave.

No. 3 would be correct with "if" if what you mean is that if she is beyond the age of puberty, not past menapause, and healthy enough to have periods, she can get pregnant.
If you mean that it is not impossible to get pregnant when one has intercourse during one's period, then the two suggestions I made in my initial response would be appropriate.
It's all dependent on what one
