Patient's question:
When is a woman least likely to get pregnant during marital coitus?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the count starts after the menstrual period ends. The first four days are the safe period, followed by a 10-day risky period, and then another safe period until the next menstrual cycle begins. The concept of the safe period method of contraception refers to calculating a period of time during which pregnancy is unlikely to occur based on a woman's ovulation period and the survival time of sperm and eggs in the female reproductive tract. Sexual intercourse is then chosen to be performed during this period to achieve contraception.
