Is 7 days after menstruation a safe period?

Women all know that there is a safe period during the menstrual cycle. A woman's safe period refers to the period during which the probability of a woman becoming pregnant is relatively small if she has sex. Therefore, women should have some understanding of their safe period. Since there is a specific calculation formula for the safe period, women can calculate their safe period based on the time when their menstruation arrives. So, is the 7 days after menstruation a safe period?

Generally speaking, the 7 days after menstruation is the safe period. The menstrual cycle is generally 28 days, calculated from the first day of menstruation to the day before the second menstruation. The ovulation period is in the middle of the menstrual cycle, which is the 14th day. If the egg is not fertilized, it can survive for 2 days, that is, on the 14th, 15th and 16th days. The survival time of sperm after entering the female reproductive organ is 3 days, and the rest of the time is the safe period. To be on the safe side (ovulation is advanced or delayed), push it back 5 days, so that the 7 days after menstruation is the safe period.

In addition, by observing the changes in vaginal secretions, you can also calculate the number of days after menstruation that are the safe period. Women's vaginal secretions change objectively with the contrasting dates of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, the mucus becomes more and more, the vagina feels moist, the mucus becomes clear, and the mucus can be stretched into threads, which can be up to 10 cm long. The last day that this mucus lasts is usually the ovulation period. It is not suitable to have sexual intercourse 3 to 4 days before and 5 to 7 days after ovulation.

Can women get pregnant during the safe period?

Safe period contraception is not absolutely safe, so there is still a possibility of pregnancy. Safe period contraception refers to calculating a period of time when conception will not occur based on the woman's ovulation period and the time the egg survives in the female reproductive tract, and then having sex during this period to achieve the purpose of contraception. The specific reasons why pregnancy is possible during the safe period are as follows:

1. Insufficient understanding of safe period contraception. For people who can achieve successful contraception through the safe period, it is mainly because they have sufficient understanding and knowledge of the safe period. If the understanding in this regard is not very clear, it is a bit hopeless to achieve contraception through this method. Because someone once did a survey, and now less than one-fifth of the people surveyed have a correct understanding of safe period contraception. Most people still don’t know very well, and don’t know how to calculate the ovulation period and which days are the safe period.

2. Because women's ovulation period will be affected by the environment, climate, work, life and emotions, it may be advanced or postponed, and there may also be extra ovulation. Therefore, the safe period cannot be 100% accurate, and the safe period becomes less safe.

Precautions for safe contraception

1. The safe period contraceptive method is only suitable for women with regular menstrual cycles.

2. Calculating the safe period for contraception is not suitable for women with a menstrual cycle of less than 21 days, more than 35 days, or for women who have given birth or are breastfeeding.

3. Before using safe period contraception, it is recommended that you record your menstrual cycle in the second half of the year to understand the regularity of your menstruation.

4. In addition to calculating the safe period, the ovulation date should also be determined by measuring basal body temperature, observing changes in leucorrhea, etc., so as to better judge the safe period for contraception.

5. Because women's menstrual cycle can be affected by emotions and diseases, the failure rate of contraception based solely on the safe period is relatively high. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in combination with other contraceptive methods. Therefore, female friends who only use the safe period contraceptive method should pay attention to changing the contraceptive method in time.
