Can I get pregnant if I have sex at the end of my period?

Each month, women's period can be divided into menstrual period, safe period and dangerous period according to their physiological characteristics. If you have sex during the dangerous period without taking any contraceptive measures, the chance of pregnancy is very high. If you have sex during the full period, even if you do not take any contraceptive measures, the chance of conception is very small. During menstruation, you cannot have sex, but some people have sex when their period is almost over. Will they get pregnant at this time?

Generally speaking, the chance of pregnancy during menstruation is smaller, but pregnancy is still possible. Also, during menstruation, women's body resistance is weaker and sexual intercourse can cause inflammation, so sexual intercourse during menstruation is not recommended. Therefore, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during menstruation.

Reason 1: Having sex during menstruation can easily lead to infection of the reproductive system

When a woman has her menstrual period, the endometrium peels off piece by piece. When women have sexual intercourse during menstruation, it is easy for bacteria from the vulva and perineum to enter the vagina, cervix and even the uterus. The bacteria grow and multiply where there is blood, causing inflammation on the spot, which is called endometritis. Not only does it cause fever and lower abdominal pain, but it also causes increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstruation.

Reason 2: Sex during menstruation causes endometriosis

Under normal circumstances, the endometrium flows out with menstrual blood during menstruation. If you have sex during your period, when the woman's excitement reaches its peak, the uterus will contract. At this time, the endometrial fragments that have fallen off the uterine cavity can enter the fallopian tubes with the pressure of the uterine contraction, and then enter the abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity along the fallopian tubes. No matter where they fall, they will grow on the spot, causing endometriosis.

Reason 3: Having sex during menstruation can cause female infertility

During menstruation, the uterus contracts due to sexual impulse and endometrial fragments can be squeezed into the pelvic cavity. Because sperm meets the spilled blood cells in the damaged endometrium and even enters the blood, it can induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies, which will prevent pregnancy from occurring.

The chance of getting pregnant during menstruation is almost zero, but you cannot have sex just because you cannot get pregnant at this time. Because if you have sex during a woman's menstrual period, it will cause many discomfort symptoms in the woman's body, and severe cases may cause some diseases. So for the sake of your own health, you must avoid having sex during menstruation.
