Will I get pregnant if I have sex the day after my period?

Some women can't wait to have sex with their lovers just after their menstrual period, and do not take any contraceptive measures, but after having sex, they are worried that they will get pregnant. So, is it possible to get pregnant if you have sex the day after your period? I will introduce it below.

It is generally not easy to get pregnant if you have sex on the second day after your period. For those with regular menstrual cycles, which usually occur once a month, the menstrual period ends within 3 to 5 days. Having sex on the second day after menstruation, because during this period, the uterus and ovaries have not yet ovulated, so it is not easy to get pregnant after having sex. However, for women with short menstrual cycles, which occur every 24 to 25 days and long menstrual periods that last 8 to 9 days, if the uterus and ovaries ovulate early on the second day after the menstrual period, pregnancy is still possible after having sex.

Generally speaking, if you have sex 3 days after your period ends and 3 days before your period starts, you will not get pregnant even if you don't take any contraceptive measures. Because it is not the ovulation period in the past few days, the uterus does not have the conditions for embryo implantation; in addition, if you have sex right after the menstrual period, some sperm and seminal fluid may enter the woman's blood and respiratory system through the uterine wound that has not been completely repaired, stimulate the immune system and produce sperm antibodies, thus causing immune infertility. Therefore, the chance of pregnancy is lower if you have sex right after your menstrual period. If you are really worried, you can go to the hospital for a blood test for HCG 10 days after having sex to diagnose whether you are pregnant.

It is worth noting that when a woman's menstrual period just ends, there are still some ruptured blood vessels and glands on the surface of her uterus, the small blood vessels are still bleeding, and the new uterine wall has just begun to grow, which means that it has not yet been covered by epithelial cells. Although the wound had stopped bleeding at this time, it had not been completely reconstructed and repaired. Once sexual intercourse is carried out at this time, the mechanical stimulation will damage the wounds that have not been completely repaired, resulting in bleeding. Therefore, women should wait 2 to 3 days after their menstrual period before having sex, which is more beneficial to their reproductive health.
