Can I get pregnant if I have sex a week before my period?

Women can usually calculate the safe menstruation period and ovulation period according to the time of menstruation. Some people choose to have sex during the safe period because they do not want to take safety precautions, so they do not need to wear condoms and are not likely to get pregnant. However, this contraceptive method is actually not completely reliable. There are also cases where couples get pregnant during the safe menstruation period. So let’s find out if you can get pregnant if you have sex a week before your period?

Theoretically, it is not easy to get pregnant if you have sex a week before your period, because the ovulation period has exceeded a week and the egg cell can survive for up to 48 hours. Therefore, it is generally not easy to get pregnant if you have sex at this time. However, some people will find abnormal ovulation period. Due to the influence of natural environment and emotions, unexpected ovulation period occurs quite frequently.

Therefore, if there is no pregnancy plan, you must use reasonable contraceptive methods when having sex at this time. If an unexpected ovulation period occurs, pregnancy may occur at this time. If you don't have any pregnancy requirements, you can wear condoms or take short-term contraceptives during sex, or you can insert an IUD. The success rate of these contraceptives is very high and they are relatively safe.

Secondly, many modern women have short menstrual cycles or irregular menstruation. At this time, the 7 days before menstruation may not be a safe menstrual period. If these female friends are not prepared for pregnancy, it is necessary to use good contraceptive methods to prevent accidents.

After having sex, women should learn to protect themselves. They should clean their private parts every day to keep them clean and tidy to prevent the growth of bacteria and cause gynecological diseases. And when you have your period, it is best not to have sex. You should wait a few days after your period is over to avoid gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis.
