Will I get pregnant unexpectedly during the safe period?

Many people think that wearing condoms is very troublesome, and the price of condoms is not low. Many young couples choose to have sex during the safe period for the sake of convenience. In fact, the safe period is not safe. Some people may get pregnant during the safe period. This is because the date is not calculated correctly or the menstrual cycle is irregular, and the ovulation cycle is delayed or advanced, which are factors that lead to unwanted pregnancy.

1. What is the safe period?

Women's safe period is divided into safe period before ovulation and 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 is the so-called seven days before and eight days after menstruation. The seven days before and eight days after menstruation are safe, and it is counted from the first day of menstruation. For example, if your period comes on the 20th, the 20th to 27th is your safe period. But this is just a general rule. Generally speaking, the safe period before ovulation is 8 days, and the safe period after ovulation is 7 days.

2. Which is safer before and after ovulation?

The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation. This is because some women are sometimes affected by environmental changes and mood swings, which affect ovulation in advance, so the safe period before ovulation will be shortened. The opportunity that the ovary has a row of two eggs in a menstrual cycle is very rare, that is, after ovulation to the next menstrual cramps before this period of time usually won't happen again the second time of ovulation, so the safety period after ovulation is relatively safe.

A woman's ovaries release a mature egg every month. After the egg is released, it enters the fallopian tube and can generally survive for 1-2 days. The sperm produced by men is continuous. Sperm can usually survive in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, and its ability to cause pregnancy is around 48 hours. If you have sex within a certain period of time before and after ovulation, you may become pregnant.

Although the chance of pregnancy during safe period is lower, it is not absolutely safe. The safe period refers to the period when couples avoid having sex during the fertile period before and after ovulation without using any contraceptive methods or surgery to achieve the purpose of contraception. But in fact, this method is not safe, because the time of female ovulation is affected by factors such as the external environment, climate, her own emotions, and health status, which may result in delayed or early ovulation, and extra ovulation may also occur.

Due to the difficulty in understanding the ovulation period, the effectiveness of safe period contraception is only 65%-95% (95% effectiveness can only be achieved with accurate prediction, and accurate prediction of ovulation requires professional examination). The effectiveness of safe period contraception varies greatly because women may ovulate at any time of the month, and the ovulation period is different in different months. Due to changes in personal physique, climate, diet, mood, environment, hormones in the body, etc., the ovulation period often fluctuates, and even extra ovulation may occur, resulting in a high contraceptive failure rate.

Can you get pregnant during the safe period? I believe you already have the answer to this question. If you are not ready to have a child, you must take contraceptive measures during the safe period, otherwise an unexpected pregnancy will not be an "accident"!
