Here is everything you want to know about the safe period for women

Women generally divide the menstrual cycle into the menstrual period, ovulation period and safe period. The safe period for women refers to the period of time during which sexual intercourse is possible without the use of contraceptive measures and there will be no accidental pregnancy, except in special circumstances. So let's take a detailed look at the safe period for women.

What is the safe period

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. Generally speaking, 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 the ovulation, so before the safe period ovulation will be shortened, but did not know their own, so before the safety period ovulation is not safe. The opportunity that the ovary has row 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.

Important points to note about safe contraception:

Menstrual period contraception is only suitable for couples with regular menstrual cycles, long-term cohabitation, regular lifestyles, and mutual cooperation and understanding. However, due to its low safety, women who use this method of contraception should pay attention to the following points:

(1) Many diseases can change a woman’s ovulation time, such as endocrine diseases, kidney diseases, etc. If you use the "safe period" contraception during this period, it can often lead to contraceptive failure:

(2) Having sex during menstruation generally does not lead to pregnancy, but there is a possibility of accidental ovulation during menstruation, and having sex during menstruation is prone to infection, which has more harm than good;

(3) If a woman is in menopause and still has a small amount of vaginal bleeding, she should not have sex until the fourth day after the bleeding stops, because this bleeding may be caused by ovulation;

(4) If you are switching from oral contraceptives to menstrual period contraception, you may experience extra ovulation or irregular menstruation in the first few months after stopping the contraceptives, so you should avoid using safe period contraception during these months if possible.
