Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Generally, the safe period is considered to be 7 days before and 8 days after the start of menstruation. The closer you are to the first day of your period, the safer it is. The further away you are, the riskier it becomes, as the likelihood of ovulation increases. For women with irregular periods, estimating the safe period is difficult. Additionally, a woman's ovulation can be influenced by many factors, leading to it occurring earlier or later than expected. This makes it impossible to accurately estimate the safe period. Regardless, the safe period is not absolutely safe.
