Will you get pregnant if you have sex during your period after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

On the 13th of last month, I took birth control pills. A week later, I had my period. On the first day of my period, I had sexual intercourse. On the 19th of this month, I had sexual intercourse again. Will I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to clarify this for you. According to your description, the chances of getting pregnant should not be too high. However, breastfeeding during the safe period is not absolutely safe and can easily lead to an unintended pregnancy, so it is recommended that you use condoms throughout the process of breastfeeding in daily life. Additionally, having sex during menstruation can easily lead to infection and may also cause endometriosis, so it is strictly forbidden to have sex during menstruation.
