Patient's question:
I'm about to get my period, just four or five days away. Is this considered the safe period? I just had sex with my husband without taking any protection. Should I take emergency contraception? If I have sex during the safe period, will I definitely not get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If you are not planning to get pregnant, you should have intercourse four or five days before your period. This is the safe period, as no eggs are released during this time. Intercourse during this period will never lead to pregnancy, and no contraceptive measures are needed. There is no need to take emergency contraception pills either. During the time when no eggs are released, intercourse will never result in pregnancy, and this period is also referred to as the safe period. One week before your period, no measures are necessary.
