Can you get pregnant if you have sex during your menstrual period?

We understand that sex life is also a part of couple's sexual life, and this is especially true for those young people who are getting married! Therefore, many men and women in this period after marriage usually look forward to having sex every day. So, if you have sex at this time shortly after your menstrual period, can you get pregnant? Let’s find out below!

Generally speaking, women will not get pregnant if they have sex 3 days after their menstrual period ends and 3 days before their menarche, even if they do not take any contraceptive measures. Because it is not the ovulation period in the past few days, the uterus does not have the conditions for embryo implantation; in addition, if you have sex right after the menstrual period, some sperm and seminal fluid may enter the woman's blood and respiratory system through the uterine wound that has not been completely repaired, stimulate the immune system and produce sperm antibodies, thus causing immune infertility.

Therefore, the chance of pregnancy is generally low if you have sex right after your menstrual period. If you are really worried, you can also see a doctor for a blood HCG test 10 days after having sex, which can confirm whether you are pregnant.

It should be noted that when the menstrual period is just over, there are still some ruptured blood vessels and glands on the surface of the woman's uterus, and the small blood vessels will continue to bleed. At this time, the new uterine wall has just begun to grow, which means that it has not yet been covered with epithelial cells. Although the wound had stopped bleeding at this time, it had not been completely reconstructed and repaired. Once sexual intercourse is carried out at this time, the mechanical stimulation will immediately damage the wounds that have not been completely repaired, resulting in bleeding. Therefore, women should wait 2 to 3 days after their menstrual period before having sex, which is more beneficial to their reproductive health.

In general, it is recommended that women have sex 2 to 3 days after their menstrual period ends. This will not only be more beneficial to women's reproductive health, but also reduce the chance of their partners getting sick. Otherwise, if you have sex too early, women may suffer from gynecological inflammation, which may lead to serious harms such as infertility.
