How to calculate the safe period?

Many female friends do not know how to calculate their safe period, which leads to their failure to take contraceptive measures and unexpected pregnancy. In fact, traditionally, the first seven days and last eight days of menstruation are called the safe period for adults. However, this statement is not entirely correct. The chance of getting pregnant during the safe period is still very high, because women's ovulation periods are different, some are early and some are delayed.

How to calculate the safe period?

There are three methods for calculating the safe period: the calendar method, the estimation method, and the basal body temperature method. So, which method is the most accurate and practical? The following is a detailed introduction. Only by deeply understanding the calculation method of the safe period can we avoid unexpected problems. Let's take a look together.

Calendar Method

If the menstrual cycle is always regular, the ovulation day may be the 14th day before the next menstrual period. After the egg cell is released, it can survive for about 2 to 5 days, and the sperm can survive for 1 to 3 days after entering the female reproductive tract. Therefore, it is easy to get pregnant by having sex 3 days before ovulation and 5 days after ovulation! Other dates are relatively safe.

For a woman with a regular menstrual cycle, the time of ovulation is basically stable. Having sexual intercourse during the safe period to achieve the purpose of contraception is called the safe period contraception method. This method is not suitable for young people because they cannot have sexual intercourse more than once a week. This method is suitable for middle-aged people.

Basal body temperature method

Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature of a healthy person after waking up in the morning. It is generally the lowest body temperature of the day. For women of normal childbearing age, body temperature rises immediately after ovulation and continues until the start of the next menstrual cycle. Use the changing pattern of a woman's basal body temperature to find her ovulation day, and abstain from sexual intercourse 3 to 4 days before and 5 to 7 days after.

To sum up, you have learned the calendar method and basal body temperature method for calculating the safe period. Both methods can accurately calculate your safe period. Female friends, unexpected pregnancy cannot be ignored. It not only concerns your health, but also determines the life and death of a little life. Therefore, you must consider everything you do comprehensively.
