Pregnancy is not usually possible through ejaculation during menstruation, but there is a very low risk of unintended pregnancy. The menstrual period is a theoretical safe period, but female ovulation may be advanced or delayed due to hormonal fluctuations. If sperm survives in the reproductive tract for a long time, it may combine with an egg released in advance.
For women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs about 14 days before the next menstruation. The endometrium sheds during menstruation, which is not conducive to the implantation of a fertilized egg. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days. If the menstrual cycle is shorter than 28 days or the menstrual period exceeds 7 days, the ovulation period may be approaching during sexual intercourse later. Some women will experience bleeding during ovulation and mistakenly think it is menstruation. At this time, the probability of pregnancy during intercourse is significantly increased.
Emergency contraceptive pills are effective for unprotected sex within 72 hours, but may cause side effects such as nausea and breast tenderness. Intrauterine devices need to be placed under the guidance of a doctor and can provide long-term contraceptive effects. Short-acting contraceptive pills need to be taken periodically and have a higher contraceptive success rate. Condoms can effectively block semen and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Subdermal contraceptive implants are suitable for women who need long-term contraception.
It is recommended to record the menstrual cycle and observe the regularity. Abnormal bleeding should be investigated for endocrine diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome. If symptoms such as menopause and nausea occur after having sex, you can use a pregnancy test paper to test. If you have a negative result, you need to retest after 3 days. Gynecological ultrasound can accurately determine pregnancy status, and blood HCG testing can detect pregnancy earlier than urine testing. After a miscarriage, you need to use contraception for 3-6 months before preparing for pregnancy to avoid repeated miscarriages that damage the endometrium.
