Can you get pregnant during your period?
Disease description:
Yesterday, on the final day of my menstrual period—when there was virtually no bleeding—I had unprotected intercourse. I would like to ask whether pregnancy is possible in this situation.
Hello,
You cannot become pregnant during your menstrual period. Typically, ovulation occurs approximately 14 days before the onset of your next menstrual cycle. During menstruation, no egg is released; therefore, conception cannot occur. Consequently, women need not worry about becoming pregnant while menstruating.
However, it is important to note that engaging in sexual intercourse during menstruation can significantly harm a woman’s health. First, a woman’s immune resistance is relatively lower during her period. Second, the cervical os remains dilated during menstruation, making it highly susceptible to retrograde infection—potentially leading to various gynecological disorders.
We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
