When is it safe to have sex after menstruation without getting pregnant?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me when it's safe to have sex after my period without getting pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, women's menstrual cycles can be long or short, but the interval between the ovulation day and the start of the next menstrual period is relatively fixed, usually around 14 days. Based on this relationship between ovulation and menstruation, it is possible to calculate the ovulation period according to the menstrual cycle. This means starting from the first day of the next menstrual period and counting backward 14 days to reach the ovulation day. The ovulation day, along with the 5 days before it and the 4 days after it, together constitute the ovulation period. Outside of the ovulation period is the safe period. I hope my answer helps you.
