Patient's question:
Is sex during a safe period safe from pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The safe period is related to the start time of the menstrual period, the longest cycle, and the shortest cycle of each woman. The safe period is not absolutely safe; sometimes a woman's ovulation may occur earlier or later, making the judgment of the safe period invalid. Judging the safe period can only reduce the chances of pregnancy and cannot be used as a contraception method. If you are sure it is the safe period, you can skip taking emergency contraception pills.The ovulation period is between the 10th and 19th day before the next menstrual period. You need to calculate it based on your own menstrual cycle, not from the time when your period is clean. If the calculation is correct and it is indeed the safe period, you can skip taking emergency contraception pills. If you make a mistake in the calculation, then it's uncertain. If you don't want to get pregnant in the future, it's best to use condoms during the entire sexual activity.
