Can you get pregnant if you have sex right after your period ends?

Having sex right after menstruation refers to engaging in sexual activity immediately after the menstrual period ends. Generally speaking, whether or not pregnancy can occur from having sex immediately after menstruation depends on the woman's physical condition and whether contraceptive measures are taken. If sexual intercourse occurs without contraception shortly after menstruation and the woman's physical condition is good, pregnancy may occur; if effective contraceptive measures are taken and the woman's physical condition is poor, pregnancy generally does not occur. If physical discomfort occurs, timely medical attention is recommended, under the guidance of qualified physicians. Specific explanations are as follows:

If sexual intercourse occurs shortly after the menstrual period ends without contraceptive protection, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Women in good physical condition typically have stronger reproductive system function, including ovarian ovulation capacity and uterine implantation ability. Therefore, even during the "safe period," unexpected ovulation may increase the risk of pregnancy.

When sexual activity occurs shortly after the menstrual period ends and effective contraceptive measures—such as condom use or taking oral contraceptives—are taken, pregnancy usually does not occur. Women in poor physical condition may have relatively weaker reproductive system functions, including reduced ovarian ovulation capacity and uterine implantation ability, which could lower the likelihood of pregnancy.

To avoid the complications and risks associated with unintended pregnancy, it is recommended that women use effective contraceptive methods consistently during sexual activity and closely monitor their physical condition and changes in their menstrual cycle.
