Can I get pregnant if I wear a condom during the safe period?

Many people have sex during the safe period, thinking that there is no risk of pregnancy during this period. But in fact, the safe period is not absolutely safe. Even if you wear a condom during the safe period, you may still get pregnant. So you still have to pay more attention and take contraceptive measures. After all, the safe period is not necessarily accurate. If you encounter the ovulation period, it will increase 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.

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, 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 as much as possible.

Finally, we would like to remind all our female friends that contraception during the “safe period” is not always safe and is not worth promoting. Please choose a better contraceptive method based on your specific situation. After all, a failure in contraception will cause serious physical and mental trauma to oneself.
