How many days after menstruation is the safe period?

For many people who do not want to have children so early, they just want to understand the safe period after menstruation to prevent accidental pregnancy and increase financial burden or mental stress, so physiological defense is a good method. So next, let’s take a look at what the safe period after menstruation is, so that we can answer related questions and confusion for young couples.

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. This is because some women sometimes affected by environmental changes and mood swings affect the advance of ovulation, thus before the safe period of ovulation will be shortened.

The seven days before menstruation and eight days after menstruation are the safe period for adult women, which is a calculation method used by most people for contraception. In addition to the calendar method that uses days to calculate, there are also the basal body temperature method and the secretion observation method. However, the safe period is not absolutely safe. Sometimes women ovulate earlier or later, and the judgment of the safe period becomes invalid at this time.

When is the safe period? What is “seven in front and eight in back”? The "first seven" and "last eight" are a method used to calculate the safe period. The "first seven" refers to the seven days before menstruation, and the "last eight" refers to the eight days starting from the first day of menstruation. It should be noted that "the last eight" does not refer to the eight days after the end of menstruation. If a woman starts menstruating on September 20 and ends on September 26, then the "first seven" refers to the seven days starting on September 13, and the "last eight" refers to the eight days before September 27. That is, the period from September 13 to September 27 is the woman's safe period.

However, the "seven before and eight after" of a woman's safe period should be determined according to the menstrual cycle. This method of calculating the safe period is generally suitable for women with a menstrual cycle of about 28 days and regular menstruation. If a woman's menstrual cycle is less than 26 days, generally speaking, the "first seven" can still be calculated as a safe period, but the "last eight" does not apply. Contraception during the safe period can also be affected by factors such as mood, climate, and environment, which may result in early ovulation, delayed ovulation, or even extra ovulation. Therefore, contraception during the safe period is not absolutely safe.

However, for couples who do not want children, knowing the method of calculating the safe period can sometimes be unsafe, so they need to carefully understand the calculation method so that they can take scientific precautions. And there is no need to worry about the side effects of the safe period, but condoms do have side effects. Therefore, I hope that the safe period calculation method provided by the editor can help friends who have relevant needs.
