Now a variety of different remedies in medicine allows couples to enjoy each other in bed with virtually no risk of an unplanned pregnancy. Of course, the possibility of conception always remains, even for a hundredth of a percent. It all depends on the individual characteristics of both the female and male body. There are external contraceptives and those that have to be taken as tablets. Condoms are considered the most popular. In addition to the ability to prolong sexual intercourse, they also prevent sperm from entering the uterus and protect against various infections. However, such contraceptives reduce the sensitivity of both partners during sex, and some people even complain of allergic reactions. In this case, you will have to resort to hormonal pills or learn how to calculate safe days.
The female body is designed in such a way that there is a period in which the probability of becoming pregnant is almost zero. This occurs due to the menstrual cycle. Around the middle, the egg matures and descends through the pipes, preparing for fertilization. This is called ovulation. If, in such a period, the sperm does not fertilize the egg, then it is destroyed and excreted from the body of the woman along with the menstrual blood and particles of the uterus wall, which all this time was preparing to take the future fetus.
Safe days are pretty easy to calculate. However, for this, the menstrual cycle should be fairly regular and stable. Observe the number of days in it for about six months. Then, based on the existing picture, it will be much easier to calculate safe days. If it is difficult for you to do this yourself, then you can contact the clinic. There, experts will prescribe several types of tests. Based on the data, you will be helped to determine exactly which days of the cycle sex will be safe and will not lead to an unwanted pregnancy. However, it is always worth considering the possibility of inaccuracies. No one is safe from this.
If we take the average value of the cycle, then it is 28 days. Based on all the characteristics of the female body, the period from 8 to 20 days is considered safe. For the reference date should be taken the very beginning of the allocation. So that safe days can be determined with greater accuracy, use the following formula. You should subtract 11 from the duration of the menstrual cycle in calendar days. The resulting number is the last day when the woman is most likely to get pregnant . However, do not forget about the fact that sperm can live for several days. Therefore, for complete confidence in this method of contraception, you must still visit a specialist and pass a number of tests.
The first safe days are after menstruation. During this period, the egg has not yet matured. Therefore, even if the sperm cells awaken in a state of activity for several more days, fertilization will still not occur. But the further you move away from the date of the last menstruation, the more dangerous it becomes unprotected sexual intercourse. Even if you practice interruption, there is still a chance of becoming pregnant. Indeed, in the male lubricant, which is released during sex, there is a sufficient number of sperm cells that can fertilize a mature female egg.
Remember that safe days for making love are not a reason to completely neglect contraception. Now there are a large number of drugs that do not violate the hormonal background of a woman, but at the same time reliably protect against unwanted pregnancy. It’s just that there are a lot of such means, and the reaction of the body to them can still be unpredictable. Therefore, do not purchase contraceptives yourself. Be sure to consult your doctor.
