If you have any such questions, then read the following article to find out more.

1. How many days after menstruation is it easy to get pregnant

The first step in conception is the combination of sperm and egg to form a fertilized egg. A woman usually releases only one egg during one menstrual cycle, and the egg's ability to conceive (i.e. survival) is only 24-48 hours after it is released from the ovary (waiting for fertilization in the fallopian tube). The lifespan of sperm in the female reproductive tract is about 2-3 days, so conception is possible if sexual intercourse is performed 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation. This period is called the fertile period, also known as the "dangerous period" or "fertile period".

Ovarian ovulation usually occurs within 2 days before or after the 14th day of menstruation (the specific ovulation period is calculated according to the menstrual cycle), and the ovulation day is usually the few days in the middle of the two menstrual periods. It is impossible to conceive without ovulation. Only when ovulation occurs can the egg meet the sperm and be fertilized. The entire period is approximately within 10 days after menstruation, and from the 20th day after menstruation to the next menstruation. The closer to the menstrual period, the greater the possibility of contraception.

On the contrary, it is easiest to get pregnant if you have sex on the fourteenth day before your period. If a woman's menstruation is usually regular, she can have sex every other day starting from the 9th day after her menstruation. In addition, in order to increase the chance of conception, women can use ovulation test strips to measure ovulation, just follow the instructions. You can also monitor ovulation by testing your basal body temperature. It should be noted that women should not have frequent sex before and after ovulation. It is best to arrange sex reasonably around the ovulation day to increase the success rate of conception.

2. Can you get pregnant right after your period?

You generally won’t get pregnant right after your period, but it’s not absolute. Because ovulation usually does not occur right after menstruation, women's ovulation date is usually about 14 days before the next menstruation. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain fertilization potential in the female's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is released. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. Because it is easy to get pregnant through sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period.
