What is the safe period for women?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The safe period is commonly referred to as "the seven days before and the eight days after" in colloquial terms, meaning the days seven days before and eight days after the menstrual period are considered safe.
The calculation method for the safe period is as follows: First, determine the date of the next menstrual period, then calculate the ovulation date, and finally establish the safe period. For a woman with a very regular menstrual cycle, it is easy to calculate the date of her next menstrual period. The ovulation date is typically 14 days before the next menstrual period, but ovulation can also occur within two days before or after this date (14 ± 2), which is still considered normal. The five days before and four days after the ovulation date are considered the high-risk period (easily fertile). Days outside the high-risk period and the menstrual period are considered the safe period.
