Patient's question:
At what time interval is it not easy to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, safe period contraception refers to having sex while avoiding the fertile window around ovulation 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 in the healthy cervical mucus, it can survive for 1 to 3 days. If the average menstrual cycle length is 28 days, ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the period. If the exact ovulation time can be determined, avoiding sexual intercourse during the high-risk fertile window of 5 days before ovulation and 1 week after ovulation can achieve contraception, which is known as the safe period method.
