Is the three days after menstruation a safe period?

Generally, healthy women in the normal childbearing age range have menstruation once a month. The period from the last menstrual period to the first day of the next menstrual period is called a menstrual cycle. Therefore, every woman will experience a safe period and a dangerous period every month. Having sex during the safe period can achieve the effect of contraception, but having sex during the dangerous period can easily lead to pregnancy. Are the three days after menstruation a safe period? Let’s find out together.

What is the female safe period? The female safe period is divided into the safe period before ovulation and the safe period after ovulation. The period from the first day of menstruation to the day before ovulation is the safe period before ovulation, and the period from the first day after ovulation to the day before the next menstruation is the safe period after ovulation. The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation. This is because some women are sometimes affected by external changes and mental fluctuations that affect ovulation in advance, so that the safe period before ovulation will be shortened, so that the safe period before ovulation is not very safe.

A woman's ovulation day is usually about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is secreted from the ovary, it can be stored in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; the male's sperm can maintain fertilization potential in the female's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so conception can be achieved through sexual intercourse a few days before and after the egg is secreted. 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. Because conception is easy during sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, the ovulation period is also called the fertile period or the critical period.

Do you know when is the safe period for women? Generally speaking, the 7 days before and after menstruation is the safe period for women. 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 before and after menstruation are the safe period for women.

In addition, the safe period for women can also be calculated by observing the changes in vaginal secretions. 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, and no sexual intercourse is allowed 3-4 days before and 5-7 days after ovulation.

Many modern women use the safe period contraceptive method to achieve contraceptive effects. The key to testing the female safe period is to determine the female ovulation date. Menstruation and ovulation change cyclically, and there is a close relationship between the two. If you understand the changing patterns of the two, you can determine the ovulation date through indirect methods. For young couples who don’t want a baby for the time being, it is very important to grasp the safe period of women, because the chance of pregnancy during the safe period is much lower than during the ovulation period. Do you know how to measure the safe period of women?

1. Calendar method: If the menstrual cycle is always smooth, ovulation may occur on the 14th day after the onset of menstruation. The egg cell can live for about 2-5 days after being released, and the sperm can live for 1-3 days after entering the female reproductive tract. Therefore, abstaining from sex 3-4 days before ovulation and 5-7 days after ovulation can prevent pregnancy. For a woman with a regular menstrual cycle, the time of ovulation is stable, and having sex during the safe period to achieve the purpose of contraception is called the safe period contraception method. This trick is not suitable for young people, because their sexual intercourse frequency is not likely to be about a week apart, but it is suitable for middle-aged people.

2. Standard body temperature method: Standard body temperature refers to the body temperature of a fixed person after waking up in the morning. It is usually the minimum body temperature of the day. For women of childbearing age, their body temperature rises rapidly after ovulation and continues until the beginning of the next menstrual cycle. Use the changes in women's body temperature objectively to find her ovulation period and avoid sexual intercourse 3-4 days before and 5-7 days after ovulation.
