Menstruation is a normal occurrence where a woman experiences vaginal bleeding once a month. The normality of menstruation is a barometer that determines the normal fertility of women. Many women temporarily do not want children after marriage, so they take contraceptive measures, and many women use safe period contraception. That is to say, women engage in sexual activity during the period when they are not pregnant. When menstruation is about to begin, it is considered a safe period. So, can one still get pregnant after menstruation? Check if it is in the safe period:
1、 Composition of Safety Period
The safe period for women is divided into pre ovulation safe period and post ovulation safe period. The period from the day when menstruation is clean to the day before ovulation begins is the safe period before ovulation. The safe period after ovulation is from the first day after the end of ovulation to the day before the next menstrual cycle. The safe period after ovulation is safer than the safe period before ovulation. This is because some women are sometimes influenced by environmental changes and emotional fluctuations to ovulate earlier, which shortens the safe period before ovulation without their knowledge, making the safe period before ovulation less secure. The chance for the ovaries to ovulate twice in a menstrual cycle is extremely rare, meaning that there is generally no second ovulation between ovulation and the next menstrual period. Therefore, the safe period after ovulation is relatively safe.
2、 The safety period is not safe
Although the probability of pregnancy during the safe period of sexual intercourse is relatively low, it is not absolutely safe. That is to say, there is a possibility of conception, so we need to be vigilant.
The safe period refers to the period when couples avoid pregnancy before and after ovulation without using any contraceptive methods or surgery, in order to achieve the purpose of contraception. But in fact, this method is not safe because the timing of ovulation in women is influenced by factors such as external environment, climate, personal emotions, and health status, which can result in delayed or advanced ovulation, and there may also be additional ovulation.
In addition, the maximum survival time of sperm and eggs in the female reproductive tract is uncertain, so the safe period cannot be accurately calculated, making contraception unsafe.
Regarding the calculation of the safe period for women, it is mentioned that the ovulation period is the first 5 days and last 4 days from the first 14 days of the next menstrual cycle. However, depending on each individual's specific situation, early ovulation or two ovulation cycles may occur.
3、 What is the safe period contraception method
The basic principle of safe period contraception is to avoid the so-called unsafe period of sexual intercourse before and after ovulation, so that the egg and sperm do not have the opportunity to meet, and the reliability varies among different women. The success or failure depends on the exact date of ovulation, and safe period contraception is a contraceptive method that stops sexual activity during ovulation.
Normal adult women only release one egg per month. The ovulation date is usually around 14 days before the next menstrual period. After being released from the ovary, the egg can survive in the fallopian tubes for 1-2 days to wait for fertilization; Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days. Having sexual intercourse in the days before and after egg release is extremely easy to conceive. For safety reasons, avoid "natural" behavior for 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, including 10 days before ovulation.
In theory, apart from the days mentioned above, it is not easy to get pregnant at other times, so it should be safe. This is called the safe period. However, such calculations also carry risks, as women's cycles are greatly influenced by their environment and emotions, and can change in the event of a special event. If the safety period is divided in a constant and adaptable manner, it will become less secure. There must be several other methods used in conjunction with the safety period to truly ensure safety. For example, calculating based on the menstrual cycle, measuring basal body temperature, and observing cervical mucus secretion.
The safe period contraception method is applied to normal sexual activity. If not strictly controlled or used improperly, it can easily lead to failure.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that the safe period refers to the period when women will not conceive, and when they are about to menstruate, it actually belongs to the safe period. But sometimes the safe period is actually not safe, and having sex during the safe period can also lead to pregnancy. So if you have your period, you definitely won't get pregnant.
