Can you get pregnant on the first day after your period?

We have a saying here that the period before and after menstruation is the so-called safe period, and contraceptive measures will not be used. However, this is just a saying and has not been actually confirmed. Some people also believe that the first day after menstruation is the safe period. So is this really the case? Today, the editor will tell you whether you can get pregnant on the first day after your period.

Most women have a menstrual cycle of about 28 days (of course there are individual differences). The growth of egg cells requires a certain process. The mature egg cells are released in the days between two menstrual periods.

(Usually it is discharged around the 14th day of menstruation). After discharge, the mature egg cells are the most active and easiest to fertilize. So on the 14th day (and the two days before and after the 14th day)

These days are the easiest to get pregnant. If the egg cell is fertilized on the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th days, then after the fertilized egg enters the uterus, the endometrium will thicken, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone will increase, and the blood supply will increase, which means pregnancy, and menstruation will not occur; if there is no fertilization, then the secretion of estrogen and progesterone will decrease, the blood supply to the uterine endothelium will decrease, necrosis will occur, and menstruation will occur. Menstruation is a physiological law of women.

To put it simply: if the egg and sperm combine, the endometrium will thicken (of course it will not fall off, because if it falls off it is menstruation), providing a large amount of nutrition to facilitate the growth of the fetus; if the egg does not combine with the sperm, the endometrium will undergo "tissue cell necrosis", the endometrium will fall off in large quantities, and menstruation will form. This monthly "tissue cell necrosis" is very necessary. It allows the tissue cells of the endometrium to be renewed once a month, thus maintaining strong activity. If no mature egg is released on the first day after menstruation, it is basically impossible to get pregnant.

The above is an introduction to the question of whether you can get pregnant on the first day after your period. Since it is basically impossible to get pregnant, everyone can rest assured. But for safety reasons, we still hope that everyone can take precautions. Basically doesn't mean definitely, does it?
