To increase the chances of conception, we first need to understand when it is the ovulation period, as the chances of conception through sexual intercourse are highest during this period. Can we have sex during menstruation? How many days after menstruation is it easy to get pregnant?
1. Menstruation is not allowed for sexual intercourse
During menstruation, the endometrium (the layer of tissue inside the uterus) peels off piece by piece. Women who have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period are prone to introducing bacteria from the external genitalia and perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and anus) into the vagina, cervix, and even uterus. Bacteria grow and multiply in areas with blood, leading to inflammation on site, known as endometritis. This not only causes fever and lower abdominal pain, but also increases menstrual bleeding and prolongs the menstrual period, resulting in menstrual irregularities. Doctors suggest that it is best not to have sexual intercourse during menstruation, as it can easily cause gynecological inflammation and even infertility.
2. A few days after menstruation, you can have sex
Generally, 10 days after the menstrual period, the first 14 days before the next menstrual period are ovulation days, and 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation days are called ovulation period. During this period, the chance of getting pregnant through sexual intercourse will greatly increase.
Menstruation should occur 2-3 days after the end of each menstrual cycle, usually around 10 days, before resuming normal marital life, so as not to harm women's reproductive health. Rushing into sexual intercourse immediately after the cessation of menstruation can cause congestion in the uterine cavity, resulting in recurrent bleeding of the endometrium, leading to vaginal bleeding and menstrual irregularities.
Generally speaking, having sex 10 days after menstruation is the best time as it has the highest conception rate. We need to grasp the timing and make all necessary preparations. It is best for female friends to learn more knowledge before conception, as this is also responsible for their future babies.
