It is said that women cannot have sex during menstruation.

So, if you can't help having sex during your period, will you get pregnant?

Can you get pregnant during menstruation? Generally speaking, you will not get pregnant by having sex during menstruation. Because ovulation does not occur during menstruation, and no egg and sperm combine to become a fertilized egg, you will not get pregnant if you have sex during menstruation.

The menstrual period includes the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. For a woman to become pregnant, it mainly depends on whether she ovulates during the ovulation period, and the sperm can combine with the egg to become a fertilized egg, which is the key to successful pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, women only ovulate on the ovulation day each month, and only release one egg, so the chance of getting pregnant during menstruation is low. However, if taking contraceptives or other drugs causes menstrual disorders, it may also cause abnormal ovulation and ovulation during menstruation. The possibility of this happening is very small.

It should be noted that sexual intercourse should be avoided during menstruation. Because wounds are formed on the endometrium during menstruation and the immunity of various systems decreases, it is easy to cause inflammatory infection, resulting in pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc. In addition, when a woman is sexually excited, uterine contractions may cause menstrual blood to flow back into the pelvic cavity, causing implantation of the endometrium and leading to endometriosis.
