Will I get pregnant if I have sex right after my period ends?

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 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.

Will ovulation occur right after menstruation?

The ovulation period refers to the period before and after a woman's ovulation period. The ovulation period is from 5 days before ovulation to 5 days after ovulation. But because the length of each woman's menstrual cycle is different, her ovulation period is also different. So, will ovulation occur right after menstruation? The following is an introduction by the editor.

Normally, ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) occurs approximately on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual cycle (the first day of menstruation is the first day of the menstrual cycle). Sometimes, due to physical condition, environmental changes, and mood swings, ovulation may be advanced or delayed. Therefore, ovulation may occur just after the menstrual period, but the probability is low and it often occurs in women with a shorter menstrual cycle.

So how can we tell whether it is the ovulation period based on our health status? This can be learned by carefully observing the characteristics of the secretions.

Normally, the quality and quantity of secretions change with the menstrual cycle. When the menstrual period just ends, the secretion is milky white, small in quantity, and paste-like; when the uterus and ovaries are about to ovulate, affected by the metabolism of the cervical gland duct, there is more leucorrhea, which is completely transparent, slightly sticky, and egg white-like, and can stretch to about 10 cm; 2 to 3 days after ovulation, the secretion becomes more and more turbid, relatively sticky and small in quantity. Also, before and after menstruation, due to pelvic congestion, the secretion of vaginal mucosa increases, so the secretion often increases.
