When is a woman's safe period?

If you have a certain understanding of women's physiological conditions, you will know that women can actually be divided into different periods, such as ovulation period, safe period, etc., and different periods have different characteristics. Generally speaking, if you do not want to use contraceptive measures but still want to achieve the contraceptive effect, you usually choose to have sex during the woman's safe period. The duration of the safe period has become a concern for many women. So, when is the safe period for women? Let’s take a closer look below.

Except for the menstrual period and ovulation period, the rest of the time is a 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.

A woman's ovulation period is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. 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. Generally speaking, the ovaries of women of normal childbearing age release only one egg per month. The egg can survive for 1-2 days after being released, and the sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days. The fertilization ability is mostly within 24 hours after ovulation. After 2-3 days, the sperm loses the ability to combine with the egg. Therefore, if you have sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation, you may get pregnant. This period is called the fertile period or the dangerous period.

The safe period refers to the period from the end of the last ovulation period to the next ovulation period. Generally speaking, if a woman has a normal menstrual cycle of 28 days, the seven days before and eight days after the first day of menstruation is the safe period. 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.

I think everyone should be clear about the specific time of women's safe period. There is a way to calculate the safe period. Every woman's safe period is different. If you learn how to calculate it, you can accurately calculate your own time. However, having sex during the safe period is not necessarily a 100% preventive measure, and this is something everyone must be clear about.
