Can you get pregnant right after your period?Generally, it is a few days after menstruation, before ovulation, and the chances of pregnancy are not too high. However, there are exceptions. If you do not want to get pregnant, it is recommended to take contraceptive measures.

Some women have a short menstrual cycle or irregular menstruation, and ovulation will advance, even happening when menstruation is about to end. Since a woman's egg is fertile for 24 to 48 hours, if the man's sperm happens to enter the uterus and then the fallopian tube, pregnancy is possible.

Since male sperm can survive in the female body for three to four days, if the male sperm enters the fallopian tube, pregnancy is possible. During menstruation, the cervical opening of a woman is in a relaxed state, and as menstrual blood is discharged, a channel is also established between the uterine cavity and the outside world. At this time, sexual intercourse is likely to allow bacteria to enter the uterine cavity.

Can you have sex right after your period?

Many women think that they can resume sexual activity as soon as their menstrual bleeding has stopped, but this is actually detrimental to their reproductive health. Immediately after menstruation has stopped, the surface of the uterine cavity in women is still lined with broken blood vessels and glandular ducts. There is oozing of blood from the tiny blood vessels, and the endometrium has only just begun to grow, with no epithelial covering on the surface. At this time, the wound surface in the uterine cavity is like skin that has been abraded on the surface of the body. Although there is no longer any bleeding, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired. This is why menstruation may seem to have stopped, but it has not actually done so. If you have intercourse in a hurry at this time, it will cause congestion in the uterine cavity, which may lead to re-bleeding from the uterine cavity and bleeding from the vagina.

After menstruation has just stopped, the cervix has not completely closed. The blood sinus has just healed, and the body's resistance is relatively low. Intercourse at this time may easily induce gynecological diseases. It is recommended to have sex three days after menstruation has stopped, and to practice good sexual hygiene to reduce the occurrence of gynecological diseases. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the ovulation period refers to the five days before and four days after the ovulation day, plus the ovulation day, a total of ten days. The remaining days are considered the safe period, but it is not absolutely safe. If you do not want to conceive for the time being, it is recommended to take contraceptive measures.

Generally speaking, the safe period for women is 7 days before menstruation and 8 days after menstruation. However, safe period contraception is not that reliable. There are many factors that affect the discharge of eggs, and both physiological and emotional factors can cause the discharge of eggs to advance or delay. Therefore, it is very dangerous to rely on the safe period for contraception. Having sex without contraception immediately after menstruation is also likely to result in pregnancy.
