Can I get pregnant if I have sex on the third day of my period? Can I take medication?

Patient's question:

Can I get pregnant if I have sex on the third day of my period? Can I take medication?

Doctor's answer:

On the third day of menstruation, there should be no ovulation, so there should be no possibility of pregnancy at this time. If you are really worried, you can check a pregnancy test stick or blood hCG seven days after the delay of menstruation to confirm whether you are pregnant. During menstrual intercourse, the male reproductive organ may introduce bacteria into the vagina. Menstrual blood is an excellent culture medium for bacteria and other microorganisms, making it easy for bacteria to multiply. They can spread along the many small wounds and broken capillaries in the endometrium, infecting the endometrium, and potentially affecting the fallopian tubes and pelvic organs.
