Generally, women are more likely to become pregnant after the end of their menstrual ovulation period, usually 2-3 days after menstruation. During this period, the pregnancy rate is extremely high, and some preparations for pregnancy should also be made. Early pregnancy testing can be used after ten days of intercourse. Below, we will explain how long it takes to become pregnant after menstruation.
1、 It is easy to get pregnant a few days after menstruation
1. The first step in conception is the union of sperm and egg to form a fertilized egg. Women usually only release one egg during a menstrual cycle, and the ability of the egg to conceive (i.e. survive) is only 24-48 hours from the time it is released from the ovary (waiting for fertilization in the fallopian tube), while the lifespan of sperm in the female reproductive tract is about 2-3 days. Therefore, sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation can lead to conception, which is called the easy pregnancy period, also known as the "dangerous period" or "conception period".
2. Ovarian ovulation usually occurs within 2 days before or after the 14th day of menstruation (depending on the menstrual cycle to calculate the ovulation period), and the ovulation day is usually the middle few days between the two periods. Without ovulation, it is impossible to conceive. Only when the egg touches the sperm during ovulation can it be fertilized. The entire period is approximately within 10 days after menstruation, and from the 20th day after menstruation to the next menstrual period. The closer it is to the menstrual period, the greater the possibility of contraception.
3. On the contrary, having sex on the 14th day before menstruation is the easiest time to get pregnant. If a woman's menstrual cycle is usually very punctual, she can have sex every other day starting from the 9th day after menstruation. In addition, to increase the chances of conception, women can use ovulation test strips to measure ovulation, simply follow the instructions. Ovulation can also be observed through basal body temperature monitoring. It should be noted that women should not have frequent sexual intercourse before and after ovulation. It is best to arrange sexual intercourse reasonably before and after ovulation to improve the success rate of conception.
The above is about the health knowledge of pregnancy after menstruation. It is recommended to have sexual intercourse 2-3 days after ovulation, not too late, and not during menstruation, otherwise women will feel pain. The later the sexual intercourse, the more accurate the test will be. Early detection of pregnancy will result in negative results, and pregnancy will not occur without ovulation.
