Is it possible to be embarrassed during menstruation?

Although it is rare, it is possible to be embarrassed when you have unprotected relationships during period or menstruation, especially when a woman has an irregular menstrual cycle which lasts less than 28 days.

In a regular cycle of 28 or 30 days, the probabilities are very low, because at the end of the menstrual period, there are still approximately 7 days left for ovulation to occur. Spermatozoa survive inside a woman’s body for a maximum of 5 days, so there is a risk that they come into contact with the released egg is very low. In addition, when fertilization occurs during menstruation, the uterus would not be ready to receive and implant the fertilized ovum.

Without embargo, when there is intimate contact without protection, the only way to confirm an embarrassment is through a pharmacy or blood test. Find out more about the issues of embarrassment.

Why is it possible to be embarrassed in a short or irregular cycle

Contrary to what happens in a regular cycle of 28 or 30 days, if a woman has a shorter or irregular menstrual cycle, there are more possibilities that she can be embarrassed if you have relationships during menstruation.

So that you can better understand why, we will give you an example: A menstrual cycle that lasts 21 days, ovulation will occur around the middle of the cycle, this means that it will be day 9 approximately. However, it must be taken into account that there is a fertile period, which is considered 3 days before and 3 days after day 9, because the fertile days would be from day 5 to 13.

Because if sexual relations were maintained without protection during the last day of menstruation, the spermatozoa could survive the 5 days and fertilize the released ovum, generating an embarrassment, the same thing could occur in those people who have an irregular cycle, and that the egg could be released earlier than expected.
