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

During menstruation, women need to pay more attention to the care of their bodies, and people are particularly concerned about whether they can get pregnant during menstruation. So, can you get pregnant during menstruation?

Can I get pregnant while having sex during my period?

It is rare to get pregnant during menstruation, but it is possible to get pregnant. There are indeed precedents of getting pregnant during menstruation. First of all, we need to understand what is going on during women's menstruation. Women have menstruation every month because they ovulate once a month. The sperm and egg combine to develop into an embryo, and after ten months of gestation, a baby will be born.

After a couple has sex, normally the sperm and egg combine to form a fertilized egg, thus starting the pregnancy process. However, if the sperm and egg cannot combine, the egg cannot survive in the uterus for a long time (about three days) and will be expelled from the body with the shedding of the endometrium. This is what people often call menstruation.

To find out whether a woman can get pregnant if she has sex during her menstrual period, you need to first find out her ovulation period. A woman's ovulation period is generally between two menstrual cycles. It can be roughly inferred that 14-15 days after the first day of her menstrual period is basically her ovulation period. Having sex within ten days before and after the ovulation period may result in pregnancy. However, having sex on other days has a very low possibility of pregnancy, 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 the start of menstruation. But if ovulation occurs early, like Ms. Zhang, and her husband's sperm is vigorous, pregnancy is very likely to occur. The average number of sperm in a man's ejaculation is about 300 million, and these sperm can survive in a woman's body for about 7 days. If a 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 is prone to breed bacteria, so you should pay more attention to local cleaning during menstruation. However, you cannot use any shower gel, soap or lotion, just warm water, so as to avoid those chemical ingredients reducing the local ability to resist bacteria.

2. Never have sex during menstruation. During menstruation, women's local bacterial resistance will decrease. Having sex at this time can easily lead to more invasion of external bacteria, and even ascend to 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.
