Can you get pregnant the day after your period?

Many women only know that it is easy to get pregnant during the ovulation period, but they don’t know much about how many days after the menstrual period the ovulation period is. Many people do not take contraceptive measures after having sex, so they have doubts about whether they can get pregnant by having sex the day after their period. They are afraid of getting pregnant.

Normal women of childbearing age have menstruation once every 28 days or so. The period from the beginning of one menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For example, from the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. Ovulatory contraception is a method of contraception that stops sexual intercourse during the ovulation period. This is a traditional contraceptive method and was one of the commonly used contraceptive methods at home and abroad before the advent of birth control pills and intrauterine devices.

If the menstrual cycle is always accurate, the ovulation day may be the 14th day before the next menstrual period. After the egg cell is released, it can survive for about 2 to 5 days, and the sperm can survive for 1 to 3 days after entering the female reproductive tract. Therefore, it is easy to get pregnant by having sexual intercourse 5-7 days before ovulation and 4-6 days after ovulation! Other dates are relatively safe. For a woman with a regular menstrual cycle, the time of ovulation is basically stable. Having sexual intercourse during the safe period to achieve the purpose of contraception is called the safe period contraception method. This method is not suitable for young people because they cannot have sexual intercourse more than once a week. This method is suitable for middle-aged people.

You will not get pregnant if you have sex the next day after your period ends, but you may get pregnant if you have sex once a week after your period ends. If the menstruation is regular, the ovulation day is 14 days before the first day of the next menstruation. The 5 days before and after this day (about 10 days in total) can be regarded as the ovulation period. Pregnancy is possible only if you have sex during the ovulation period. You can calculate the days of the ovulation period and decide whether you need to take contraceptive drugs based on this.
