Patient's question:
I heard that having sexual intercourse right after menstruation is not easy to get pregnant, and having sexual intercourse before menstruation is easy to get pregnant, is that correct? What is the safe period? First question supplement: What is the ovulation period? Is it not easy to get pregnant if you have sexual intercourse during the ovulation period?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation just passed is not absolutely safe, because early ovulation may occur. A woman's menstrual cycle is generally 25-35 days long, and the day of ovulation is about 14 days before the next menstrual period. The four days before the ovulation day, the five days after, plus the ovulation day itself, make up a ten-day ovulation period. During the ovulation period, the vaginal discharge is clear and transparent, and the outer genital area feels moist. These days are considered the risky period, when pregnancy is more likely. The safe period is not absolutely safe, so it is recommended to take safe contraceptive measures.
