Can I get pregnant right after my period ends?

It is not recommended to have sex immediately after the menstrual period ends. At this time, the cervix has not closed and the uterine membrane still has wounds. If you have sex now, your body's resistance will be low, which will lead to vaginal infection and there is also a potential threat of gynecological diseases. Furthermore, in the first few days after your period, you are not in your ovulation period and the chance of getting pregnant is relatively small. However, if a woman's ovulation period is early, unexpected pregnancy may occur.

Generally speaking, if you have sex 3 days after your period ends and 3 days before your period, you will not get pregnant even if you don't take any contraceptive measures. Because these days are not the ovulation period, the uterus does not have the conditions for implantation; plus, if you have sex right after your period, some sperm, semen, etc. may enter the female's blood circulation system through the uterine cavity wound that has not yet been completely regenerated and repaired, stimulating the immune system to form sperm antibodies, thereby causing immune infertility. Therefore, the chance of pregnancy is lower if you have sex right after your period. If you are really worried, you can also go to the hospital for a blood HCG test 10 days after having sex, so that you can confirm whether you are pregnant.

Normally, ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) occurs on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual cycle (the first day of menstruation is the first day of the menstrual cycle). Sometimes, due to health conditions, environmental changes, and mood swings, the day of ovulation will be advanced or delayed. Therefore, ovulation may occur just after menstruation, but the probability is low and it often occurs in women with shorter menstrual cycles.

It is worth noting that when a woman's menstruation just ends, there are still some broken blood vessels and glandular ducts on the surface of her uterine cavity, and the tiny blood vessels will still bleed. The new endometrium has just begun to grow, indicating that there is no epithelial coverage yet. Although the wound has stopped bleeding at this time, it has not yet completely regenerated and repaired.

If a couple engages in sexual intercourse at this time, the stimulation of the mechanical system will damage the wound surface that has not yet been fully regenerated and repaired, thus causing bleeding. Therefore, women should wait 2 to 3 days after their menstruation ends before having sex, which is more beneficial to their reproductive health.
