With the continuous development of science and technology, the living standards and fertility willingness of modern people are getting higher and higher.Many couples choose to control pregnancy by understanding the ovulation and safety period.However, many people are confused about how to accurately calculate the safety and ovulation period.In this article, we will deeply explore the relevant knowledge of safety and ovulation periods to help everyone better understand and apply.
1. What is a safe period?
The safety period refers to a certain stage in the women’s menstrual cycle. Sexual behavior is safer during this period and is not easy to get pregnant.It is generally believed that the menstrual cycle of women is 28 days, and the safety period is 8-19 days of the menstrual cycle, that is, 5 days before ovulation and 10 days after ovulation period.Therefore, the first-7 and 20-28 days of the menstrual cycle are safe periods.However, the calculation method of the safe period needs to be adjusted according to the length of each woman’s actual menstrual cycle.
2. What is ovulation period?
The ovulation period refers to the time period that is the easiest to get pregnant in women’s menstrual cycle, and sexual behavior is prone to conceive during this period.Under normal circumstances, women have only ovulation once a month, and the ovulation period usually occurs on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle.However, because each woman’s physiological situation and menstrual cycle are different, the specific ovulation time is also different, and it needs to be determined according to personal circumstances.
3. How to calculate the safety and ovulation period?
1. Estimated through the menstrual cycle:
Generally speaking, the shorter the menstrual cycle, the earlier the ovulation period, the longer the safety period; the longer the menstrual cycle, the later the ovulation period, and the shorter the safety period.If the menstrual cycle is 28 days, the safety period is 8-19 days.However, if the menstrual cycle is irregular, the average menstrual cycle time of the nearly few months is required as the calculation basis.
2. Determine the ovulation period through basic body temperature measurement:
Women’s body temperature will increase slightly during ovulation, so the ovulation time can be judged by measuring the base temperature every morning.Before the ovulation period, the basic body temperature will maintain a relatively stable low temperature; after the ovulation period, the basic body temperature will rise, and it will maintain a higher level within the subsequent 10-14 days.Therefore, it is more accurate and reliable to judge the method of ovulation by measuring the base temperature.
Third, judge through ovulation test strips:
The ovulation test strip determines the ovulation time of women by detecting the levels of luteum in the urine.Under normal circumstances, the ovulation test strip can be used for angels 11-17 in the menstrual cycle.When the test results are positive, it means that the woman is about to enter the ovulation period, and the surrogacy rate of sexual behavior at this time is higher.
Fourth, precautions:
Although the calculation method of the safety and ovulation period is relatively simple, in the process of calculation, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. The physiological situation of each woman is different, and the menstrual cycle is not completely stable and regular. Therefore, the calculation of the safety and ovulation period needs to be combined with their actual situation.
2. The safety period is not a complete and safe contraceptive method, because women’s menstrual cycle may change due to various reasons, so it is not ruled out that accidental conception is caused by early or delayed ovulation.
3. The judgment method of the safety and ovulation period can cooperate with each other. At the same time, the use of auxiliary methods such as basic body temperature measurement and ovulation test strip can improve the accuracy of calculation.
Fourth, summary
Safety and ovulation period are one of the common contraceptive methods for people. Among them, the safety period refers to a period of time in the menstrual cycle of women, and sexual behavior is relatively safe during this time.The calculation of the safety period needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation of each woman.The ovulation period refers to the most prone to conceive in the menstrual cycle of women. Through the basic body temperature measurement, ovulation test strip and other methods, it can roughly determine the ovulation time of women.However, when using the safety and ovulation period, you also need to pay attention to some precautions, including the irregularity of the menstrual cycle, the accuracy of the safety period calculation, and so on.In the end, it is necessary to choose the appropriate contraceptive method in combination with its own situation.
