Will I get pregnant if I do it before my period?

The few days before menstruation is the safe period for women with regular menstruation, and many women will use safe period contraception. If you feel you have sex during the safe period, you don't need to take any contraceptive measures and you won't get pregnant. So, will it be possible to get pregnant if you have sex a few days before your period? If you want to use safe period contraception, you'd better read the content of the article.

1. Will having sex a few days before menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Under normal menstruation conditions, the probability of pregnancy during ovulation is very high, and the probability of pregnancy during the safe period is low. If you are worried about pregnancy, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a blood HCG test 5-7 days after having sex, which is more accurate.

2. Sex during the safe period

After the male sperm enters the female reproductive system, it can maintain the fertilization ability for 1-3 days. After the egg cell is released from the uterus and ovary, it can maintain the fertilization ability for about 30 hours, and it will form a memory after 48-72 hours.

Taking a 28-day physiological cycle (from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation) as an example, the female safe period we usually refer to as "seven before and eight after" refers to: the seven days before the beginning of the menstrual period and the eight days after the end of the menstrual period. However, this safe menstruation period is not absolutely safe, because the ovulation period may be affected by many factors and may be advanced or delayed for a few days. Therefore, you should not take chances when it comes to contraceptive measures, and you should choose the best time to get pregnant.

3. The failure rate of choosing safe period contraception

The safe period contraceptive method is a physiological contraceptive measure. The couple's life is carried out under normal circumstances and can obtain satisfactory sexual intercourse. However, if you cannot strictly control it or operate it incorrectly, it is easy to fail. According to statistics and analysis by relevant authoritative experts from overseas, the error rate of using safe period contraception is as high as 14.4% to 47%.

The failure rate of safe period contraception is often very high, which is mainly related to the following two factors:

1. Because the time of female ovulation is affected by factors such as the external environment, climate, one's own mentality, physical and mental health, and physical fitness, ovulation may be delayed or early, and additional ovulation may also occur, that is, ovulating twice in a month. This is one of the reasons for the high error rate.

2. Because the body's growth hormone can also induce ovulation, when two people have sex, if they are very excited, it will increase the secretion of growth hormone, which may cause ovulation. Therefore, this is also one of the key reasons for the high failure rate.

According to the detailed introduction in the article, we can understand that even if the few days before menstruation are normal, it should be considered as the safe menstruation period. If you have sex during this time, the chance of pregnancy will be very small, but it does not mean that you will not get pregnant at all. So if you want to use contraceptive methods, it is best not to choose safe period contraception.
