Will having sex during your period get you pregnant?

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 first-time sex partner, although he has previously masturbated. I felt like he ejaculated a lot, and there was no form of contraception used.

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 not advisable. The endometrium is damaged during the menstrual period, and the body's resistance decreases. 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 both a happy and healthy sex life!
