Can I get pregnant if I have sex during my period?

The 3-month menstrual period for women is actually a special period when the uterine wall sheds and bleeds. At this time, the cervix opens. If women have sex during the 3-month menstrual period, it will easily cause them to suffer from gynecological diseases. However, many women do not take any contraceptive measures when having sex during their menstrual period. Are they worried about getting pregnant if they have sex during their menstrual period? Let me introduce it to you below.

Generally speaking, the chances of getting pregnant during menstruation are lower, but it is still possible to get pregnant. There are indeed cases of getting pregnant during menstruation.

First of all, we need to understand the reason why women have menstrual leave. Women have to have a menstrual period every month. This is because women have to ovulate once a month. The fusion of sperm and egg will grow into a test tube embryo, and after ten months of creation, a baby will grow. If the sperm and egg cannot combine, the egg cell cannot survive in the uterus for a long time (about three days), and will be discharged from the body with the shedding of the uterine wall. This is what we often call menstruation.

A woman's ovulation period is generally between two menstrual cycles. It can be roughly inferred that from the first day of menstruation that month, push back 14-15 days, which is basically her ovulation period. Having sex within ten days before or after ovulation can lead to pregnancy. If you have sex at other times, the possibility of pregnancy is very small, which is what we often call the safe menstrual period.

Most women ovulate around the 14th day after the start of their menstrual period, but if ovulation occurs early and sperm motility is high, pregnancy is likely to occur. The average number of sperm in a man's ejaculation is about 300 million. These sperm can survive in a woman's body for about 7 days. If a woman ovulates early, she is very likely to get pregnant. Therefore, even during menstruation, necessary contraceptive methods should be adopted. Sexual intercourse between couples can cause inflammation, so it is not recommended for couples to have sexual intercourse during menstruation.
