1. Can you get pregnant during menstruation?

Can you get pregnant during your period? Generally speaking, you will not get pregnant if you have sex during your period. 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. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

However, if a woman takes diet pills, contraceptives and other drugs, it may cause menstrual disorders and affect normal ovulation. Ovulation during menstruation may occur, but this possibility is very small.

The hormone level in women's bodies is very low during menstruation, so it is impossible to ovulate during menstruation because the women's follicles do not develop during menstruation. With the end of menstruation, the hormone level in the body gradually recovers, and the follicle gradually develops to maturity and then ruptures to ovulate. The development of female follicles is a process, and the day when the follicle ruptures is not fixed, so the ovulation period is not fixed. Generally, the ovulation day is one day before the first day of the next menstruation. However, this calculation method is not necessarily accurate. You can use basal body temperature measurement or go to the hospital to measure when ovulation occurs.
