For couples preparing for pregnancy, choosing a suitable time for sexual intercourse can increase the chances of getting pregnant, otherwise any further efforts in the future will be in vain. Couples preparing for pregnancy usually calculate their chances of getting pregnant based on the period after menstruation, as the chances of getting pregnant are much higher during this time. So, can having sex on the ninth day of menstruation lead to pregnancy
Whether pregnancy will occur after sexual intercourse on the 9th day of the menstrual cycle depends on the specific menstrual cycle of the patient. Women with regular menstrual cycles usually ovulate between the 14th and 16th day of their menstrual cycle, with a total of 10 days before, after, and after ovulation, which is considered easy pregnancy. If the menstrual cycle is 28 days, then on the 9th day of the menstrual cycle, it enters the easy pregnancy period, and it is easy to become pregnant after sexual intercourse; If the menstrual cycle is 30 days and the 9th day of the menstrual cycle is still within the safe period, pregnancy is generally not expected after sexual intercourse.
Generally speaking, after a woman ovulates, the egg will survive in the body for less than two days, and the sperm's survival time is also less than three days. It is not easy to conceive in such a short time because it takes a long time for sperm and egg to meet after intercourse. Sperm can go through many obstacles to swim to the side of the egg, and this time can even reach about seven days.
Therefore, it is best to have sexual intercourse about three days before ovulation to give the sperm enough time to meet the egg. After the egg is released, it can smoothly combine with the sperm to form an embryo.
