data-contrast=\"none\">Pregnancy and the birth of a baby are miraculous events. For this miracle to happen, the man&#8217;s sperm must meet the woman&#8217;s egg. While the egg of the woman lives between 12-24 hours, the sperms can stay alive for 3 days. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A normal menstrual cycle in women is 28 days. Day one here is when menstruation begins, and expectant mothers ovulate around day 14. The event called ovulation is when a woman&#8217;s ovary releases an egg to be fertilized. If there are sperm in the uterus at that time, pregnancy occurs. Not everyone has the same ovulation cycle, some women may experience a longer or shorter menstrual cycle.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Relationship_between_Menstrual_Period_and_Pregnancy\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Relationship between Menstrual Period and Pregnancy<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Menstrual period is a process that occurs every month in women. It is a period in which the unfertilized egg is expelled from the body and the uterus prepares itself for pregnancy every month. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">When expectant mothers become pregnant, menstrual bleeding does not occur until delivery. If pregnancy does not occur, the egg that cannot be fertilized and implanted in the uterus is expelled from the body with menstrual bleeding.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_You_Get_Pregnant_on_Your_Period\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How Can You Get Pregnant on Your Period?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The ovulation cycle for women is seen between 28-30 days on average. However, if you have a shorter cycle, the time between your period and ovulation is not the same. Another thing to know is that after ejaculation, sperm can survive in the uterus for up to 72 hours. Therefore, towards the last days of your period, your chances of getting pregnant will increase.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you are worried about how your ovulation pattern is, you can track the number of days between your periods and take advantage of the many applications available for this.

While the average monthly cycle of a woman is 28-29 days, it can vary between 20-40 days for some, or this cycle can be experienced longer. Women are not likely to become pregnant 1 or 2 days after the start of menstruation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"> However, this possibility tends to increase every day as the bleeding continues. The probability of pregnancy is 9% on the 13th day from the start of the period. Even if these probabilities are low, it is not clear that the expectant mother will not get pregnant during her menstrual period.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Get_Pregnant_Just_Before_or_After_Your_Period\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can\u00a0You\u00a0Get\u00a0Pregnant\u00a0Just\u00a0Before\u00a0or\u00a0After\u00a0Your\u00a0Period?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">According to experts, women are not likely to get pregnant until their menstrual period.

The egg is ready to hatch in the middle of the menstrual\u00a0period,\u00a0that is, on the 15th\u00a0day.\u00a0However, this may take longer for some expectant\u00a0mothers.\u00a0The fertilization of the released egg by cracking and the formation of pregnancy by the fertilized egg implanting in the uterus may correspond to a process close to the next menstrual period.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_Ovulation_Period_Calculated\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How is the Ovulation Period Calculated?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For pregnancy, it is necessary to know the process of the menstrual cycle and to follow the ovulation period.
