      Women will ovulate regularly throughout their lives to get pregnant. Normally, they will ovulate once a month. If you want to successfully conceive, you must choose this ovulation period to have intercourse to have a greater chance of conception. The safe period is the time other than the ovulation period. At this time, because no mature eggs appear, even if you have normal sex, fertilized eggs generally cannot be formed. Therefore, this is why many people choose to use contraception during safe periods. So does the safe period mean that you will not get pregnant? Is there anyone who got pregnant during the safe period?

      Is it safe to not get pregnant during the safe period?

      refers to the basis female ovulation period and sperm , the survival time of eggs in the female reproductive tract is calculated, and a period of infertility is calculated, so sexual intercourse is chosen during this period to achieve contraceptive purposes.

      Generally speaking, eggs can survive for 1 to 2 days after ovulation, and sperm can survive for 2 to 3 days in the female reproductive tract. Therefore, it is possible to get pregnant by having sex 2 to 3 days before ovulation and 1 to 2 days after ovulation. This period is called the fertile period. Ovarian ovulation usually occurs within 2 days before and after the 14th day of menstruation, so the safe period is approximately within 10 days after menstruation, and from the 20th day after menstruation to the next menstrual period. The closer to the menstrual period, the greater the possibility of contraception.

      However, this calculation method is often unreliable, because the time when a woman ovulates is affected by the external environment, climate, her mood, and healthy Due to factors such as status, ovulation may be delayed or advanced, and additional ovulation may also occur. In addition, the longest survival time of sperm and eggs in the female reproductive tract cannot be determined conclusively. Therefore, the safe period cannot be accurately calculated, so contraception during the safe period is not safe.

      It's just that the chance of pregnancy during the safe period is reduced, which means that some people can succeed in contraception during the safe period, but it is not absolutely safe.

      So is there anyone pregnant during the safe period?

      We also mentioned earlier that the safe period is only relative and there is no absolute safety. Although the chance of pregnancy during the safe period is very low, there is also the possibility of abnormal ovulation and pregnancy. If female friends do not plan to become pregnant, they need to take effective contraceptive measures, especially during the ovulation period, to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

      Here are some Examples of safe period pregnancy

      Example 1: It was so sudden, so unexpected, why did I get pregnant like this, my God! I originally planned to get pregnant in the fall, but why did I end up... oh, I feel so complicated, it came too soon~~ I was completely unprepared. Is there any other mother who feels complicated?

      Example 2: When I was pregnant with Dabao, I got pregnant on the third day after my period. I still can’t figure it out...

      Example 3: Same as the safety period. I also planned to do it at the end of the year, but it came in such a hurry and the honeymoon hasn’t even gone yet. . . But I had to admit it.

      Example 4: I am also the aunt on the third day. I can’t figure it out either~.

      Example 5: The safety period was safe for half a year, but last month it became unsafe. Sometimes the safety period is unreliable. I have a sister who only got it once that month, two days after her period, and she got it. It’s amazing to think about it.

      Example 6: There is no absolute safety period. I even took an ovulation test paper before, and I got pregnant even though I didn’t ovulate.

      How to calculate the safety period

      1. Menstrual cycle method (calendar method)

      The calculation of the safe period is mainly based on the menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, women with normal menstrual periods have relatively normal and safe safe periods. Doctors call this calculation method the calendar method. Female ovulation is affected by the cyclic changes of pituitary gland and ovarian endocrine hormones and shows a cyclic change pattern. The normal ovulation cycle is once a month. Most women's menstrual cycle lasts 24-32 days, and real ovulation occurs in the middle of two menstruation periods. Under normal circumstances, if the egg is not fertilized 24 hours after it is released, it will die on its own.

      Usually ovulation occurs about 14 days before the next menstrual period, so we generally calculate the ovulation period based on the individual's menstrual cycle. Many of them may wonder that in reality, every woman’s menstrual cycle is different, so will the ovulation period be the same? Doctors say that although the length of menstrual cycles varies from person to person, the interval between the ovulation day and the start of the next menstruation generally remains about the same fourteen days, so the ovulation day is calculated using the same method. The ovulation period refers to the five days before and four days after the ovulation day, and the other periods can be regarded as safe periods. Menstruation usually lasts five days, so 6-7 days after menstruation is the first "safe period"” ; Correspondingly, it is more dangerous within four days after ovulation, and thereafter, the 19th to 28th day of menstruation is the second "safe period".

      2. Basal body temperature measurement method

      Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature measured after a person has slept for a long time and before performing any activities. The basal body temperature of normal women of childbearing age changes cyclically. This change is mainly based on ovulation status, and the basic questions often increase after ovulation. Therefore, through long-term basic questioning and measurement, you can get your own ovulation pattern. Ovulation usually occurs before or during the rise in body temperature. It can be seen that changes in body temperature can only determine that ovulation has occurred, and it is difficult to accurately determine when ovulation occurs. Therefore, it is more effective for inferring the safe period after ovulation. Doctors suggest that it is best to use the calendar method and cervical mucus observation method to make accurate judgments.

      3. Ovulation test paper test method

      This method can be used for exploratory testing during the dangerous period. If a negative result appears, the test can be done every other day. However, if a weak positive result occurs, it needs to be tested once a day. When a strong positive result occurs (that is, the test line and the control line are both obvious), it means that you may be ovulating in the next 24-48 hours. This is a high-risk period and will last for up to 2 days. When the test result changes from strong positive to negative, it means that ovulation has occurred.

      4. Cervical mucus observation method

      This method mainly observes the cyclical changes in cervical mucus to determine the ovulation period and the safe period before and after ovulation. It is highly accurate. If the vulva is sticky and slippery, it indicates a dangerous period. Sexual intercourse should be avoided at this time. When the vulva is relatively dry and wet, sexual intercourse can be performed the next night. However, this method is not easy for everyone to use. Users need to undergo relevant testing and training before they can use it until they have fully mastered it. (Reference website: PClady)
