HAVING SEX DURING YOUR PERIOD CAN STILL MAKE YOU PREGNANT!! 🍑🍆
{RT for women on your Timeline}
There's a myth going around that women can’t get pregnant if they have sex while on their period.
While this doesn't happen all of the time, it still happens some of the time.
Here's why:
1. Shorter menstrual cycle
Most women have a 28-day cycle. Usually, they bleed for 3 to 5 of those days & are most fertile during the ovulation stage around 12 to 16 days before the next period starts. If she has a shorter cycle, it means she also ovulates earlier.
2. Sperm viability
Point 1 coupled with the fact that sperm can live inside the woman's body for up to 5 days, means that if the timing is right, sperm could stay inside her body just long enough to survive her period & fertilize an egg.
So, having sex during your period can still make you pregnant if the above two conditions are met.
That's why you should still consider using a condom if you want to have sex during your period but don't want to get pregnant.

If you don't remove the stinger, bee stings can cause massive swelling (edema) with severe itching (erythema) & sometimes bumps (plaques & bullae), due to allergic reaction.
But once the stinger is removed, the itching & swelling should disappear within days.
In most cases, unless you’re allergic to bee stings or experiencing signs of a severe allergic reaction, you can treat bee stings at home if you follow the above simple steps.
If the symptoms don't disappear after 2 days, see your specialist.
Urinating can help flush out the bacteria that may have entered your urine pipe (urethra) during vaginal sex.
This can prevent you from getting urinary tract infections.
{RT for sexually active ladies on your TL}
Peeing immediately after having sex is particularly helpful for people prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as women - due to their shorter urethra than that of men which is longer.
However, peeing after sex will not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) because it is not a form contraception.
