Periods...?

Question

Is it true that a few days after a woman's period she cannot not get pregnant because there is no egg?

Answer 1

Well technically, yes that is true - assuming that the woman is very regular and consistent with her menstrual cycle and ovulation, then technically, the egg would not be there after menstruation because it has already been shed off along with the lining, and it comes out as the bloody discharge one gets while menstruating. And then after menstruation, the body prepares again for the next ovulation, and on the ovuation day, an egg is released waiting to be fertilized. If it doesn't get fertilized, then it gets shed off again as menstruation. That is the pattern of the cycle.

As always, know that hardly anybody gets a perfect cycle, there is always room for variations or fluctuations. That is why some unplanned pregnancies happen - it could be that the woman's luteal phase was too long or too short (the average is 14 days), or the cycle was off because of hormonal fluctuations or imbalances - there's a lot of factors governing a woman's menstrual cycle.

So, if you don't want to get pregnant, it's always best to use some form of protection. If you want to get pregnant, then it is best to know when you ovulate (you can get ovulation kits, or chart your cycle to find out when you ovulate).

Goodluck!

Answer 2

A woman can get pregnant all the time--depending on her menstrual cycle and the length of her periods. I would not relay on that as a form of birth control. But most women ovulate on the 13-15 days after her period begins...meaning the first day of ur period is day 1...

Answer 3

Every person is different, there is no such thing as a time a woman can not get pregnant. Not all woman ovulate the same number of days after their period. Some woman ovulate sooner or later. It depends on the individual.

Answer 4

If you are on the pill, and taking it every day as prescribed without fail, your risk of pregnancy at any time of the month is extremely small (less than 1%). In addition, you are using condoms which is added protection against pregnancy (lowers your risk even more) and STDs.? You and your boyfriend can certainly have sex while you have your period. There is not an increased risk of getting pregnant while you have your period ? in fact, while it?s possible to get pregnant at any time of the month, during your period it is less likely.? Having sex during your period, however, does increase the risk of getting an STD, especially HIV (so definitely keep using condoms each and every time).

Here?s a quick rundown of the menstrual cycle:

The day you start to bleed is Day 1 of your cycle. You ovulate ? meaning an egg pops out of your ovary and starts its way down your fallopian tube ? in the middle of your cycle, usually about 12 - 14 days after your period begins. While that egg is traveling down the fallopian tube, it is available to be fertilized, which can lead to pregnancy. When you start bleeding, it means you are not pregnant and the lining that has built up in your uterus is leaving your body.

It?s important to bear in mind that while you?re young and your cycle is still irregular, you run the risk of getting pregnant any time of the month ? your body is not a machine, and you can?t always tell what?s going on with it just by the signs you can see, like blood. However, being on the pill and using condoms means you are protecting yourself against pregnancy as best you can.

We?re very glad to hear that you are continuing to use condoms. It?s important to remember that the pill only protects against pregnancy, not against any sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, it?s always good to have a backup method. Check out this link to safer sex for more information.
