What does safe period mean?

Many people don’t understand the safe period. So what does the safe period mean? This is a way for women to prevent pregnancy after marriage. When women do not want to get pregnant, they need to pay attention to their own safe period. Everyone’s safe period is different, so it needs to be calculated based on the woman’s menstrual cycle.

What does safe period mean?

Traditionally, the seven days before menstruation and the 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. Determining the safe period can only reduce the chance of pregnancy.

To use safe period contraception, you must first accurately determine the ovulation period. The three methods used to determine the ovulation period each have their own advantages and disadvantages: the calendar method can be used to calculate the ovulation period and the safe period before and after ovulation. But it is only applicable to women with normal menstruation. Sometimes ovulation may be advanced or delayed due to environmental and emotional changes, so it is not accurate enough.

Measuring basal body temperature can determine the ovulation date and the safe period after ovulation, but it cannot determine the safe period before ovulation in advance. This method is more troublesome and has strict requirements. If the body temperature is not measured according to regulations, the ovulation date cannot be accurately determined.

The cervical mucus observation method can determine the ovulation period and the safe period before and after ovulation. It has a high accuracy, but the user must be trained and fully master it before using it. If these three methods are used in combination, you can maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, achieving greater results.

At least one of the couple should be able to master the method of determining the ovulation period. If they cannot master this method, they cannot use safe period contraception. Safe period contraception means stopping sexual intercourse during the ovulation period, which requires close cooperation from the man, otherwise it cannot be used. Of course, it is also possible to use external contraceptives during ovulation.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of what the safe period means. Therefore, what to do specifically during the safe period is also introduced above. Following the above methods is the best choice. However, it should be noted that during the safe period, women should also have a reasonable diet to facilitate the healthy development of women's body.
