Can you use tampons if you are trying to conceive?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes, but you can not [generally] conceive during mensturation because during your period, your uterus sheds its lining which is what the zygote(fertilized egg) implants itself in. Tampons also absorb the cervical mucus, the natural moisturizer for the vagina. You could try a tampon alternative called Diva cup/keeper.

Answer 2

I'm not sure the context of this question - you can use tampons when menstruating, whether you are trying to conceive or not is irrelevant as you're unlikely to be fertile when you are menstruating. Although there are health risks with tampon use there's little specific to risk conception or fertility.

If trying to conceive look into getting a diaphragm or softcups, these can be used during menstruation and are safer than tampons but the reason for mentioning these is for trying to conceive. Diaphragms and softcups can be inserted after sex to help keep semen under the cervix, rather than having it leaking out, thus it helps the sperm swim through the cervix to then meet the egg.

Answer 3

You should remove the tampon if you are having sex during your period. Some women use a vinegar douche to remove evidence of menstruation. Otherwise, using a tampon is just fine.
