If you have sex without using contraception, you can conceive (get pregnant) at any time during your menstrual cycle, even during or just after your period. You can also get pregnant if you have never had a period before, during your first period, or after the first time you have sex.
Yes — it's possible to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex during your period. But it's not super common, especially during the very beginning of a period. Here's the deal: You're most likely to get pregnant when you have sex right before and during ovulation (when an egg is released).
The days before and during menstruation are the least fertile days of the menstrual cycle. People with a menstrual cycle that is shorter than 28 days could ovulate within days of their period ending.
How likely am I to get pregnant by having intercourse on the last day of my period? It's possible to get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex, regardless of what day it is in your cycle. Sperm can live in a woman's reproductive tract for about six days, so it's always best to use protection.
Can you get pregnant on the first day of your period? It's possible — though not very likely — for you to get pregnant on the first day of your period, especially if you have a regular, 28-day cycle.
Can sperm survive in menstrual blood? Yes, sperm can survive in menstrual blood. Sperm can survive in the reproductive system during the five days prior to and the day after ovulation, regardless of if menstruation is occuring.
A woman is most fertile during ovulation. For a woman with 28 to 30 days menstrual cycle, ovulation takes place during the 10th to the 14th day. But there are still chances to of getting pregnant till the 21st day. So days 1 to 7 and 14 days before your periods are considered to be safe days.
So, can you get pregnant when you're not ovulating? The short answer is yes. It's possible to get pregnant outside of your predicted fertile window because timing of ovulation may differ each month and sperm lives in the body for several days.
The pull-out method is about 80% effective. About one in five people who rely on the pull-out method for birth control become pregnant.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the chance of conceiving from pre-cum is about 20% if you're using the withdrawal method. So, while it's low risk, it's not impossible.
You can take emergency contraceptive pills anytime during your menstrual cycle.
The most straightforward way is to wash the vaginal area gently with warm water. The American Sexual Health Association (ASHA) recommend using mild, unscented soap around the vaginal area. It is best to avoid perfumed soaps as these can cause irritation by disturbing the pH level of the vagina.
For every 100 people who use the pull out method perfectly, 4 will get pregnant. But pulling out can be difficult to do perfectly. So in real life, about 22 out of 100 people who use withdrawal get pregnant every year — that's about 1 in 5.
your cervical mucus – you may notice wetter, clearer and more slippery mucus around the time of ovulation. your body temperature – there's a small rise in body temperature after ovulation takes place, which you may be able to detect with a thermometer.
Most couples will get pregnant within a year if they have regular sex and don't use contraception. But women become less fertile as they get older. The effect of age on men's fertility is less clear.
Presence of Semen: The most obvious sign that sperm has gone inside your body is the presence of semen. The semen of men is a thick, white fluid that contains sperm. During ejaculation, semen is released from the penis and can enter the vagina.
It is possible to get pregnant if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, if for example: your partner ejaculates very close to your vagina. your partner's erect penis comes into contact with your genital area (vagina or vulva)
Yes. You can definitely get pregnant even if the guy pulls out before he comes. Guys can leak a bit of sperm out of the penis before ejaculation. This is called pre-ejaculate ("pre-cum").
Ovulation happens before the bleeding from a girl's period has stopped. Ovulation happens within a few days after a girl's period is over. Sperm can fertilize an egg for 3 days. So if a girl has sex on the last day of her period and ovulates in the next few days, the sperm may still fertilize the egg.
Healthy cardio and workout routines can help lighten your period. Exercising also alleviates cramps and bloating because it pumps you up with happy chemicals and lessens water retention. Working out may also reduce the length of your period because stronger muscles help your cycle function faster.

You can't always tell when pre-ejaculate (AKA pre-cum) comes out of your penis. You may be able to feel a little wetness on the tip of your penis when it comes out, but you may not notice if you're having sex and other things around your penis are wet, too.
Some studies suggest that moderate ejaculation (2–4 times per week) is associated with a lower prostate cancer risk. However, ejaculating more often doesn't mean your cancer risk drops even more.
According to some studies, 18-year-old males have a refractory period of about 15 minutes, while those in their 70s take about 20 hours, with the average for all men being approximately half an hour.
Ultimately, there is no right number of times a man should ejaculate. While frequent ejaculation may offer several health benefits, no evidence proves that never or infrequently ejaculating causes specific health issues.
