Women who are familiar with the menstrual cycle are aware that there are several safe periods in each month, during which the probability of conception through sexual intercourse is very low. But some women want to use the safe period to prevent pregnancy, but they are not sure how the safe period is calculated. So, can we know if they will get pregnant just two days after their menstrual period?
The normal menstrual cycle for women is 28 days, during which there is approximately one week of menstrual period, one week of ovulation period, and the remaining two weeks are the so-called safe period. The general safe period is the first seven days and last eight days of menstruation, and when the menstrual cycle is just two days away, it is in the safe period. As long as one's menstrual cycle remains normal, having sex at this time is generally not likely to result in pregnancy.
However, women should also be aware that there is no 100% safe period. Even if they have sex during the safe period, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, but the rate is relatively low. Therefore, relying on safe period contraception is unreliable. If you do not want to accidentally conceive, it is best to adopt other contraceptive methods.
Compared to the safe period contraception method, condoms or intrauterine devices are more reliable, and people can choose the suitable contraception method according to their own reproductive needs. If there is no long-term fertility demand, it is recommended to use an intrauterine device (IUD), but if there is no short-term fertility demand, it is recommended to use a condom.
