We’ve all heard the rumor that having sex can make you start your period earlier than expected. Finding yourself a day or two late can even make you wonder if doing the deed would be enough to get the ball rolling.
Discussions about sex and your period can get a little intense, but at Rael, we’re all about normalizing things that are normal, including talking about having sex around your period.
Whether you’re trying to kickstart your cycle or worried you’ll end up with an inconvenient (read: messy) situation the next time you’re intimate, we’ve got all the information you need to know. We’ll talk about what makes your period happen, how sex affects it, and what you can do to be prepared for any period situation.
Your monthly cycle is a complex function that involves numerous hormones and body parts. Every month, your body goes through four distinct phases that help you prepare to have your period. They are the menstruation period, follicular phase, ovulation phase, and luteal phase.
The menstruation phase is the phase of your cycle when your monthly period occurs. It’s the first stage of each cycle but happens as a result of the end of the previous cycle.
Your period happens when an egg that was released is not fertilized. When the egg is not fertilized, both the egg and the thickened lining of your uterus will be shed through the process of menstruation. Lower levels of estrogen and progesterone trigger another hormone, prostaglandin, to cause the uterus to contract.
The contraction of the uterus is what triggers your body to begin having your period. Menstruation usually lasts an average of five to seven days.
The follicular phase begins on the first day of your period but lasts until you ovulate. During the follicular phase, hormones trigger the ovaries to produce small sacs called follicles. Each follicle holds one immature egg.
Only one healthy, mature egg will be released at the end of the follicular phase and travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it will be available for fertilization.
The ovulation phase is very short. It lasts about 24 hours each month. The ovulation phase happens when one mature egg is released from a follicular sac on either ovary and travels to the uterus.
Ovulation happens around day 14, or one full week after your period. This is the only time you can get pregnant during the month, but that doesn’t mean that pregnancy can’t occur when you aren’t expecting it to happen.
You can still get pregnant during any time of the month because there’s always a chance you haven’t calculated your cycle correctly. If you aren’t trying to become pregnant, always use a form of birth control.
The luteal phase happens after the mature egg has been released. If you don’t get pregnant, levels of estrogen and progesterone will decrease so that both the egg and the thickened lining of your uterus sheds, resulting in your period for the next month.
The changes in your hormones from one phase to another is what causes your period to happen. That leads to the question of whether or not having sex can affect those hormones
