Can I Get Pregnant After Having Intercourse During Menstruation?
My husband and I have been having unprotected sex I started bleeding three days ago and the bleeding is light to the point I only saw blood when I white but today is the fourth day and it s heavy like a normal cycle I am wondering if I could still be pregnant even if I am bleeding
Hello dear Understand your concern You can not get pregnant after having intercourse during menstruation. In most of women with 28-30 days menstrual cycles, ovulation occur during the 14th-16th days of cycle (mid cycle day) But pregnancy is possible in women having short cycle (20-22 days), as sperm can live for 5-6 days in the female genital tract. So you had sex in the safe period of cycle and you can not become pregnant. And heavy bleeding does not suggests pregnancy. It may be due to the mechanical trauma or vaginal infections. Avoid sex during the period as it cause high chance of infections. If bleeding will not stop then consult the gynecologist to rule out vaginal infection, cervicitis and cervical dysplasia. Hope this may help you
