How many days after menstruation can I get pregnant by having sex?

Pregnancy is the top priority in most women's lives and the top happy event for many families. The arrival of new life means a change in identity and also the passing on of the torch. But some women are troubled by their inability to get pregnant. In fact, the chance of pregnancy is closely related to the timing of sexual intercourse. The right time can greatly increase the chance of pregnancy. Today I will tell you when is the best time to have sex after menstruation.

Normal women of childbearing age have menstruation once a month. The period from the beginning of this menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation is called a menstrual cycle. For example, from the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. As the name suggests, the chance of getting pregnant during the safe period is relatively low.

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 plan to have a child, the chances of getting pregnant during this period will be higher.

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)

In addition, there is a universal and simple quick calculation method: "the longest menstrual cycle minus 11, the shortest cycle minus 18", and the dangerous period is in between.

Sometimes, the effort and reward are not proportional. Many things can be done more efficiently if you find the right time to do them, and pregnancy is one of them. Parents don’t need to be too anxious. Being anxious won’t help you get what you want. Being anxious may also make it impossible to get pregnant, because women’s emotions can also affect pregnancy. So, some things are better left to nature.
