Patient's question:
Is it possible to get pregnant on the same night as having sex and a period?Doctor's answer:
One day before menstruation, having sex is within the safe period, and the possibility of pregnancy is very low. However, there is still a risk of pregnancy. For safety, it is recommended to take emergency contraception orally within 72 hours. The safe period generally refers to the 7 days before menstruation and the 8 days after menstruation, but it is only relatively safe. If using the safe period for contraception, it is unreliable. Generally, 3 days after menstruation and 3 days before menstruation are absolutely safe periods and will not result in pregnancy.
