How to calculate the safe period after menstruation?

In our current life, contraceptive measures are very important for married women, otherwise an unexpected pregnancy can cause great harm to our health. If we want to prevent pregnancy effectively, we should first be clear about our safe period. Today, I will introduce to you in detail how to calculate the safe period after menstruation. Come and find out now!

Generally speaking, the safe period is seven days before and eight days after menstruation, that is, seven days before and eight days after menstruation. However, the failure rate of this algorithm is very high, because many women's menstrual cycles are unstable, and many times, factors such as emotions and stress will also affect women's endocrine system and cause abnormal menstrual periods.

From the perspective of contraception, each menstrual cycle of a woman can be divided into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. Generally speaking, the ovaries of women of normal childbearing age release only one egg per month. The egg can survive 1 to 2 days after being released, and the sperm can survive 2 to 3 days in the female reproductive tract. The fertilization ability is mostly within 24 hours after ovulation. After 2 to 3 days, the sperm loses the ability to combine with the egg. Therefore, if you have sexual intercourse 2 to 3 days before ovulation and 1 to 2 days after ovulation, you may get pregnant. This period is called the fertile period or the dangerous period.

A woman's ovulation date is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. To be on the safe side, we call the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, together with the ovulation day, a total of 10 days, the ovulation period. The rest of the time except the menstrual period is called the safe period. The safe period is divided into the safe period before ovulation and the safe period after ovulation. The period from the end of menstruation to the day before ovulation is the safe period before ovulation. From the first day after the end of ovulation to the day before the next menstrual cramps is the safe period after ovulation. The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation.

Through the detailed introduction above, I think everyone should now understand this issue. If we master the method of calculating the safe period in life, we can use contraception more effectively, safely and healthily, which is also very good for protecting women's physical health.
