On the contrary, if the menstrual cycle is longer, the ovulation time will be postponed accordingly. In this case, intercourse will not easily lead to pregnancy.

In order to avoid unwanted pregnancy, it is recommended that women avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation or use contraceptive measures. If an unexpected situation occurs, take timely intervention measures such as contraceptive pills or emergency contraception to protect your body healthy and family planning. At the same time, it is also recommended that women pay more attention to their physical changes in life and maintain a healthy lifestyle and habits to improve their fertility and health.
