Can I still get pregnant if my period comes?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon of women. As most people know, under normal circumstances, if you are pregnant, you will enter the pregnancy period. During this period, you will not have your period. The so-called menstruation is the menstrual period we are familiar with. So, after having your period, or menstruation, can you still get pregnant?

Can I still get pregnant after my period?

Traditionally speaking, seven days before menstruation and eight days after menstruation are the safe menstrual period for adult women, which is a calculation method used by most people for contraceptive measures. In addition to the calendar method using the number of days to calculate, there is also the ovulation temperature method and secretion observation. However, the safe menstruation period is not absolutely safe. Sometimes women ovulate earlier or later, so the judgment of the safe menstruation period will become invalid. Identifying the safe menstrual period only reduces the chance of pregnancy.

Women's ovulation period is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg cell is discharged from the ovary, it can survive in the mechanical environment of the fallopian tubes for 1-2 days to wait for fertilization; the male sperm can maintain fertilization ability for 2-3 days in the female reproductive system, so it is easy to get pregnant by having sex a few days before and after the egg cell is discharged. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, a total of 10 days within the ovulation period, the ovulation period. Since it is very easy to get pregnant during sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the dangerous period of pregnancy.

To choose safe period contraception, you must first accurately measure the ovulation period. The three methods currently used to measure ovulation period all have their advantages and disadvantages: the calendar method can be used to calculate the ovulation period and the safe menstrual period before and after ovulation. But it is only applicable to women with normal menstruation. Sometimes the ovulation period is advanced or delayed due to changes in the natural environment and mentality, so it is not accurate enough.

The probability of pregnancy during the safe menstrual period

Normal women of childbearing age have one menstrual period every month. From the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation, it is called a menstrual cycle. Each menstrual cycle of women can be divided into ovulation period and safe menstruation period.
