How to calculate the safe period for contraception?

Patient's question:

How to estimate the safe period for breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the 7 days before the onset of menstruation and the 7 days after it are considered the safe period. The menopausal date is usually around 14 days before the next menstrual period. Typically, the 5 days before and 4 days after ovulation, including the day of ovulation itself, are considered the 10-day ovulation period. However, the safe period is not absolutely safe. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, the safe period is also irregular. It is recommended that you still take precautions and use contraceptive measures to avoid accidental pregnancy.
