Sex po menstruaci: kdy je bezpečný a co o něm vědět

When you have sex after your period, you’re not automatically safe from pregnancy — even if you think your cycle is regular. Sex po menstruaci, pohlavní styk, který probíhá ihned po skončení menstruace. Also known as pohlavní styk v prvních dnech cyklu, it is often misunderstood as a "safe" time, but ovulation can happen earlier than you think. Many women assume that because they’re not bleeding, they can’t get pregnant — but sperm can live inside the body for up to five days. If you ovulate early, you could get pregnant from sex that happened right after your period ended.

It all comes down to your ovulace, proces, kdy se z vaječníku uvolní vajíčko a je připraveno k oplodnění. For most women, ovulation happens about 14 days before the next period, but that’s not true for everyone. If you have a short cycle — say, 21 to 24 days — you might ovulate just a few days after your period stops. That means sex on day 7 or 8 could lead to pregnancy. And if your cycle is irregular? The risk becomes even harder to predict.

Don’t forget about plodnost, schopnost ženy otěhotnět. Some women notice changes in cervical mucus even right after their period — clear, stretchy discharge can signal that ovulation is approaching. Tracking this mucus, along with basal body temperature, gives you real insight into your fertile window. And if you’re trying to get pregnant, sex after your period might actually be your best chance. If you’re trying to avoid pregnancy, don’t rely on timing alone. Condoms or other contraception are still the smartest choice.

There’s also a myth that sex after your period is "cleaner" or healthier. While it’s true that the risk of some infections might be lower right after bleeding stops, the risk of sexually transmitted infections doesn’t disappear. Bacteria and viruses don’t care about your cycle — they’re always ready to spread if protection isn’t used.

And what about discomfort? Some women feel more sensitive after their period, others feel better. Hormones are shifting — estrogen rises, libido often increases, and the body is preparing for ovulation. That’s why many women report higher sexual desire in the days right after menstruation. It’s natural. It’s normal. It doesn’t mean you’re more or less fertile — it just means your body is doing what it’s meant to do.
