Can you get pregnant if you have sex during your period? What are the precautions during your period?

During women's menstruation, they need to pay more attention to taking care of their bodies during the period, and people will also pay special attention to the question of whether they can get pregnant if they have sex during the period. So, can you get pregnant while having sex during your period?

Can I get pregnant while having sex during my period?

It is true that pregnancy during menstruation is rare, but it is possible and there are precedents of pregnancy during menstruation. First of all, we need to understand what women's menstrual period is. Women have their period every month because they ovulate an egg every month. The sperm and egg combine to develop into an embryo, and after ten months of gestation, a baby is born. After a couple has sex, under normal circumstances, the sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, thus starting the pregnancy process. However, if the sperm and egg cannot combine together, the egg cannot survive in the uterus for a long time (about three days) and will be discharged from the body with the shedding of the endometrium. This is what people often call menstruation.

In order to find out whether a woman can get pregnant during menstruation, you need to first find out her ovulation period. A woman's ovulation period is generally between two menstrual cycles. We can roughly infer that, from the first day of menstruation this month, push back 14-15 days, which is basically her ovulation period. If you have sexual intercourse within ten days before or after ovulation, you may get pregnant. If you have sex on other days, the possibility of pregnancy is extremely small, which is what people often call the safe period.

Not all women ovulate at the same time. Of course, most women ovulate around the 14th day after their period starts. But if ovulation occurs early, like in the case of netizen Ms. Zhang, and her husband has strong sperm, pregnancy is very likely to occur. The average number of sperms a man ejaculates at one time is about 300 million. These sperms can survive in a woman's body for about 7 days. If the woman ovulates early, pregnancy is very likely. Therefore, even during menstruation, necessary contraceptive measures should be taken.

What should I pay attention to during menstruation?

1. Menstrual blood can easily breed bacteria, so during menstruation, you should pay more attention to local cleaning. However, you cannot use any shower gel, soap or lotion. Just use warm water to prevent the chemical ingredients from reducing the local ability to resist bacteria.

2. You must not have sex during menstruation. During menstruation, women's local bacterial resistance will decrease. At this time, sexual intercourse can easily lead to more invasion of external bacteria, and even ascend to affect the pelvic cavity, fallopian tubes, etc., causing gynecological diseases.

3. When purchasing sanitary napkins, be sure to check the health license, QS certification, manufacturer information and basic product information. Do not buy unfamiliar or unknown brands.

4. During menstruation, you may experience a feeling of heaviness and distension in the waist and abdomen. At this time, do not beat your waist. This practice will not only fail to relieve the pain, but will make the pelvic congestion worse.
