It has long been noted that sexual freedom does not lead to sexual literacy. Girls sometimes do not suspect, practicing sex during menstruation, as it is likely to become pregnant these days. Nevertheless, it all depends on the physiological characteristics of the body, the regularity of the periods, and also their duration and the ability to ovulate deviate from the normal period by several days.
Menstrual cycle: dangerous and safe days when you can get pregnant
If you can not do without sex even in critical days, you need to consider the time when ovulation occurs. This is a short phase of maturation of the egg, which occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle. With stable and regular menstruation, equal to 28 days, ovulation occurs on the 13th - 15th day. The probability of getting pregnant with menstruation in this case is minimal, almost impossible, since the viability of the sperm does not exceed several days.
With a short menstrual cycle at 23 - 24 days, dangerous days when a girl can get pregnant with menstruation occur on the 5th - 7th day of the month, if ovulation occurred on day 11. Nevertheless, getting pregnant during the months is difficult, even with a short cycle. Especially, with abundant discharge. Already very unfavorable conditions develop at this moment for spermatozoa, albeit extremely tenacious. Therefore, the risk of getting pregnant with a month is rather theoretical and extremely rare in practice.
Sometimes, a woman claims that it is possible to get pregnant with menstruation on the first day. In fact, in this case, conception occurred earlier for almost two weeks, in ovulation. Simply, at the very beginning of pregnancy, bleeding can occur, which is mistaken for menstruation. So, the question "Can I get pregnant with menstruation with a short menstrual cycle?" The answer is negative.
When is the probability of getting pregnant with menstruation becoming real?
It turns out that menstruation can get pregnant if there is a "spontaneous" ovulation. The phenomenon is quite rare, the essence of which is the maturation of not one but two eggs during the cycle. Most often, spontaneous ovulation occurs in young women with a vivid orgasm. At this moment, a hormonal splash occurs, which provokes the production of two oocytes. However, the reason for this ability can be covered in the hereditary factor.
Although the phenomenon is not well understood, doctors are well aware of it. Therefore, women who practice sex during menstruation are advised to use contraceptives. It is better if a condom is chosen as a contraceptive.
In addition, with menstruation, the uterine cavity is a continuous bloody wound. Blood is an excellent breeding ground for the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria. The use of a condom will reliably protect against pregnancy, and also, from the development of infections.
If a woman believes that the time for pregnancy has not yet come, it is better not to engage in unprotected sex during menstruation. With spontaneous ovulation, which led to the conception of a child, anxiety and suspicion of pregnancy will begin only in the absence of the next menstrual cycle. At this point, the fetus will be at least four weeks old.
