Best time to conceive after menstruation

For women who want to have a baby after the end of menstruation and are preparing to enter the pregnancy preparation stage, in order to get pregnant quickly, they first need to calculate the time of pregnancy. Generally, the few days before and after menstruation are the safe period. It is impossible to get pregnant successfully at this time. You can choose to have sex during the ovulation period. This way, the possibility of pregnancy is very high, and you can also achieve the goal of successful pregnancy very quickly.

Women must know how many days after menstruation they are most likely to get pregnant

1. How many days before and after menstruation is the safe period

A woman usually releases only one egg during one menstrual cycle, and the egg's ability to conceive (i.e. survival) is only 24-48 hours after it is released from the ovary (waiting for fertilization in the fallopian tube), while the lifespan of sperm is about 2-3 days. Therefore, if you have sex 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation, you may get pregnant. This period is called the fertile period, also called the "dangerous period" or the conception period.

Ovarian ovulation usually occurs within 2 days before or after the 14th day of menstruation (the specific ovulation period is calculated according to the menstrual cycle), and the ovulation day is usually the few days in the middle of the two menstrual periods. It is impossible to conceive during the period when ovulation does not occur. When ovulation occurs, fertilization can only occur when it encounters sperm. The entire period is approximately within 10 days after menstruation, and from the 20th day after menstruation to the next menstruation. The closer to the menstrual period, the greater the possibility of contraception.

2. How many days after menstruation is it easy to get pregnant

Now that we have talked about the safe period before and after menstruation, let’s take a look at how many days after menstruation it is easy to get pregnant.

The dangerous period is the fertile period (ovulation period), which is a few days before and after the ovulation day. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. It is easier to get pregnant if you have sex during the ovulation period. The dangerous period only refers to contraception. If you are planning to have a child, the chances of getting pregnant are high during this period.

The egg's ability to conceive is only 24 hours at most after ovulation, while the lifespan of sperm is about 3-4 days. Ovulation can sometimes occur a few days earlier or later, so the dangerous period should be extended by a few days, which is "five or six days before ovulation to two or three days after ovulation." Ovulation usually occurs between two menstrual periods.

If menstruation comes every 28-30 days, then the ovulation day is around the 14th to 16th day of menstruation. In this way, you can roughly calculate the dangerous period (i.e. conception period, ovulation period)

3. Precautions during pregnancy preparation

Check your teeth: There is growing evidence that periodontal disease (a bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone around the teeth) may lead to premature birth and low birth weight.

Pre-pregnancy check-up: Pre-pregnancy check-up can help you detect abnormalities before pregnancy, seek timely treatment and avoid potential problems, and adjust both your physical and mental state to the best condition.

Selection of pre-pregnancy conditioning products: Many expectant mothers start taking pre-pregnancy conditioning products before pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy conditioning products have a wide variety of functions, which can be summarized as: increasing the chance of pregnancy, supplementing calcium, supplementing iron, strengthening physical fitness, detoxification, etc. It is recommended that expectant mothers pay attention to safety when choosing and not eat casually. Experts suggest that it is best to choose products containing Chinese herbal ingredients before pregnancy, which will help the safety of the fetus and the expectant mother. Products such as ginseng, wolfberry, and multi-dimensional calcium are relatively safest.

Understand maternity insurance: If you feel the need for insurance during pregnancy, then the pregnancy preparation stage is the best time for you to invest in insurance.

Maintain a healthy mood: If you or your family has a history of depression, or if you feel that you are showing signs of depression, such as losing interest in things you used to enjoy doing or loss of appetite, you can consult a psychologist.
