Is it true that you can get pregnant by having sex three days after your period?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that every woman experiences every month. Generally speaking, the chances of getting pregnant during menstruation are lower, but it is still possible. During menstruation, whether it is possible to have sex and get pregnant is a question that everyone is very concerned about. Can you get pregnant if you have sex during your menstrual period? Will it cause harm to the body? Let me give you the answers to these questions below.

It is easiest to get pregnant if you have sex on the fourteenth day before your period. The so-called seven before and eight after means that the seven days before and eight days after your period are all safe periods. Excluding these two time periods, it is the fertile period. If your period is usually regular, you can have sex every other day starting from the ninth day after your period. In addition, in order to increase the chance of conception, you can combine it with an ovulation test strip and follow the instructions.

The safe period is divided into the safe period before ovulation and the safe period after ovulation. The period from the end of menstruation to the day before ovulation is the safe period before ovulation. From the first day after the end of ovulation to the day before the next menstrual cramps is the safe period after ovulation. The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation.

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.

Couples who are not yet ready to have a baby should never think that they will not get pregnant if they have sex during menstruation. After reading the above knowledge, I believe everyone knows the reason. Couples should not be impulsive during menstruation and succumb to the temptation of desire, which will cause future harm. In severe cases, the fallopian tubes may be blocked, resulting in lifelong infertility. Therefore, everyone should know what is more serious.
