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

Contraception is something that many couples have to do. Some couples will use some couples' products for contraception, some women will choose to take birth control pills to solve this problem, and some people will choose to use women's safe period for contraception. The safe period for women is what people often call "seven days before and eight days after", which means avoiding the ovulation period. So, can Zuo Ai get pregnant the day after her period? Let's find out together~

1. What is the chance of pregnancy during safe period?

1. The success of safe period contraception depends on the understanding of the ovulation period. If you lack this knowledge, there is no way to talk about safety. Someone in China once conducted a survey, which found that less than 1/5 of the people surveyed have a correct understanding of safe period contraception. Most people are still confused and don’t know how to calculate the ovulation period. This is also one of the reasons for the low success rate of safe period contraception.

2. The time of female ovulation is affected by factors such as the external environment, climate, her own mood, and health status. Ovulation may be delayed or advanced, and extra ovulation may also occur. Therefore, the safe period cannot be calculated accurately, so contraception during the safe period is unsafe.

3. After sperm enters the female reproductive tract, it can maintain its fertilization ability for 1-3 days. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can maintain its fertilization ability for about 30 hours and dies naturally after 48-72 hours.

4. Taking a menstrual cycle (from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation) of 28 days as an example, the female safe period we usually refer to as "seven before and eight after" refers to: the seven days before the start of menstruation and the eight days after the end of menstruation. But this safe period is not absolutely safe, because ovulation may be advanced or delayed by a few days due to many factors. Therefore, you cannot take chances with contraception, and you must choose the best time to conceive.

According to relevant data, even under the most ideal conditions, safe period contraception cannot be 100% "safe", and the lowest failure rate of safe period contraception is 5%. Its success rate is not as good as the contraceptive measures we usually use, such as condoms or birth control pills, which rely on external objects. In fact, under actual conditions, such an ideal state is difficult to achieve. Data show that in real life, the failure rate of safe period contraception is as high as over 25%. ,

2. Precautions for contraception during the safe period

1. Not suitable for women with unstable cycles

For women with irregular cycles, short or long cycles, try not to use this method. Generally speaking, for a period shorter than 21 days and longer than 35 days, traditional contraceptive methods are more effective and will increase the chances of pregnancy.

2. Use with caution in breastfeeding women and women who have recently had an abortion

The body of a breastfeeding woman has not yet returned to normal. In addition to irregular menstrual cycles, the secretion of cervical mucus may not be reliable. Some breastfeeding mothers will secrete similar mucus, but it is not caused by ovulation or cervical mucus. It is just a natural phenomenon during breastfeeding, not egg production.

For women who have recently had a miscarriage, the menstrual cycle will not resume quickly, so they still need to adhere to traditional contraceptive methods and use this method of contraception under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Drugs can affect the success rate

Certain anti-inflammatory drugs, antipsychotic drugs, antibiotics, etc. will have a certain impact on women's ovulation, causing ovulation to be advanced or delayed. If you have taken these drugs recently, do not choose safe period contraception, as the success rate will be greatly reduced.

4. The success rate is higher when the three methods are combined

If you want to successfully prevent pregnancy during the safe period, you can combine the calendar method, body temperature method, and uterine mucus method, and observe them simultaneously to infer the accurate safe period and ensure contraception.
