Can you get pregnant on the day your period starts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the days before and after the menstrual period for 5 days are considered the safe period and are less likely to conceive. The fertility rate is high during the ovulation period.

It is best to use condoms for contraception during sexual intercourse in the future. Sexual intercourse during menstruation will not lead to pregnancy, but it can easily cause gynecological infections. It should be avoided as much as possible. The main factors affecting menstruation include endocrine disorders, uterine diseases, gynecological inflammation, psychological factors, emotional fluctuations, environmental changes, drug effects, fatigue, excessive stress, and nutritional status, etc.
