Patient's question:
At what time interval is it not easy to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, safe period contraception refers to avoiding sexual intercourse during the fertile window (the period around ovulation when pregnancy is most likely) without using any contraception methods or undergoing surgery, in order to achieve the purpose of contraception.Women in their fertile period typically ovulate in the middle of their menstrual cycle, which is known as the ovulation period. After the egg is released, the window for fertilization is within 24 hours. Once sperm enters the female reproductive tract, if it acquires the ability to fertilize (becomes capacitated) in the healthy cervical mucus, it can survive for 1 to 3 days. If the average menstrual cycle is 28 days, ovulation typically occurs 14 days before the start of the next period. If the exact time of ovulation can be determined, avoiding sexual intercourse during the high-risk fertility window (5 days before ovulation and 1 week after) while having unrestricted intercourse at other times can achieve the goal of contraception, which is known as the safe period method.
