A period, or menstruation, does not make it easy to get pregnant in the first few days of menstruation, but there are individual differences and there is a risk of pregnancy.
Normal conception in a woman requires the union of an egg and a sperm to form a fertilized egg that can successfully implant in the uterus.
Sperm usually survives in a woman’s body for no more than 72 hours, and the egg usually survives for no more than 24 hours. The five days before and the four days after the day of ovulation are considered the period of ovulation, which is an easy time to conceive.
For women who have regular periods, the day of ovulation is about 14 days before menstruation, so the easier time to conceive is the 9th-18th day of menstruation, while the days before menstruation are not an easy time to get pregnant. If a woman has irregular menstruation, there will be errors in the projection of the ovulation period, and she cannot accurately determine the exact date of easy conception, and the days before the onset of menstruation are also possible for pregnancy.
It is recommended that couples who do not plan to have children should try to use safer contraceptive methods such as condoms and birth control pills to avoid unwanted pregnancies. For those who have fertility plans, they can detect the day of ovulation by using ovulation test strips, or they can go to the hospital for ultrasound examination to monitor the ovulation situation, so as to increase the chances of pregnancy.
