What is Safe Period (Unfertile Period)?

Safe period refers to the time when a woman has fewer chances of getting pregnant So, if you do not want a baby and do not want to use contraceptives, this is the time when you should have sex. 

Biologically speaking, this is the time when there is no egg in a woman’s body. If you have intercourse at the times when there is no egg, you cannot get pregnant because this is the unfertile period in a menstrual cycle.

For most women, ovulation happens approximately 14 days before the next menstruation starts. It is not easy to know exactly when the woman would start her next menstruation. However, if a woman’s periods are mostly regular, it is easy to calculate the days of ovulation. To do this, you need to use the dates of previous menstruation as a starting point. It is important to note that an egg can only be fertilised four days before ovulation and three days after ovulation. In other words, this is not the safe period, and you should avoid intercourse during this period.

When to Have Sex to Avoid Pregnancy

1. What is the Safe Period to Have Sex?

A thumb rule – If you are having sex, you can get pregnant!! Despite all calculations and theories, there is no definite way to determine when a woman will ovulate, so many factors come into play. Most women ovulate 12 to 14 days before they begin their period, but some women’s bodies follow a different schedule and ovulate at a different time. So, figuring out when it is safe to have sex yet avoid pregnancy is still quite a guessing game.

2. How Long is Safe Period?

Based on their experience, many women believe that it is safe to have sex and avoid getting pregnant just after their period starts or before it begins. Beware, fluctuating hormones and changing schedules can make these calculations inaccurate. As a general rule, if your cycle is a regular one (that is, 28 days or so), then seven before your periods should be the safe period. But do not forget that this calculation would work only if your periods are regular. Here’s what a missed period may mean.

3. How to Calculate the Time of Ovulation?

Safe period and ovulation are related because safe days are calculated based on ovulation. The popular Safe Period Calculator method follows the day 1 to day seven pattern being safe and unfertile in a regular menstrual cycle lasting 26 to 32 days. This takes into account the premise that the lifespan of the sperm in the reproductive canal is 3 to 5 days. This method calculates that ovulation occurs on day 19. Therefore, fertilisation can occur until the 20th day of the cycle. Since all these calculations are an approximation, the results can vary from woman to woman.

This calculation is adjusted to reflect WHO (World Health Organization) data that shows that approximately 80% of menstrual cycles range between 26 to 32 days.

Things to Remember About Having Sex in the Safe Period

• First and foremost, there is no such thing as a 100% safe period.
• It works best if your periods are regular because fluctuation can cause an aberration.
• If your menstrual cycle days fluctuate by more than eight days in a six months period, the safe day calculation will not work.
• Sometimes you might need to use emergency contraceptive pills to avoid a pregnancy.
