Will having sex during menstruation lead to pregnancy?

Patient's question:

On the third day of my period, I was still bleeding. I had sex with my boyfriend, and he ejaculated inside. He's a virgin and has only ever masturbated before. It felt like he ejaculated a lot, and we didn't use any contraception.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It is absolutely impossible to get pregnant. Don't worry. The female ovulation period is approximately 14 days before the first day of the next menstrual period, and ovulation does not occur during the menstrual period.
Advice: However, this is very wrong. Intercourse during the menstrual period is prohibited because the endometrium is damaged during this time, and the body's resistance decreases. The menstrual blood is the best place for bacteria to multiply, making women more susceptible to gynecological infections, which can lead to infertility in severe cases. Men may develop urethritis. It is recommended that both of you learn more about sexual health for the sake of your mutual well-being. Wishing you a happy and healthy sex life!
