Can I get pregnant right after my period?

Some women start having sex shortly after their menstrual period ends, and do not take any contraceptive measures, but after having sex, they worry about whether they will get pregnant. So, can you get pregnant right after your period? The following is an introduction by the editor.

Generally speaking, if you have sex 3 days after your period ends and 3 days before your period, 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 see a doctor for a blood HCG test 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 immediately 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.
