Is contraception during the safe period unreliable? Five common misconceptions about contraception
Safe period contraception refers to the estimated time of non pregnancy based on the female ovulation period and the survival time of sperm and eggs in the female reproductive tract. Sexual intercourse is carried out at this time to achieve the purpose of contraception. Usually, ovarian ovulation occurs within two days before and after the 14th day of menstruation, so the safe period is approximately within 10 days after menstruation. From the 20th day after menstruation to the next menstrual cycle, the closer to menstruation, the greater the possibility of contraception. However, relevant information shows that this method is not safe, mainly due to the following reasons:
Safe period contraception is not very reliable
1. The success of safe period contraception depends on understanding the ovulation period, and without this knowledge, it cannot be said to be safe. Some people in China have conducted surveys and found that the correct understanding of safe period contraception is less than one-fifth of the respondents. Most people are still ignorant and do not know how to calculate ovulation period, which is also one of the reasons for the low success rate of safe period contraception.
2. The timing of female ovulation is influenced by factors such as external environment, climate, personal emotions, and health status, and ovulation may be delayed or additional ovulation may occur early. Therefore, the safe period cannot be calculated correctly, and contraception during the safe period is not safe.
Differentiation of 5 Common Contraceptive Errors
1. Safe period contraception safety
Truth: Calculating the safe period and external ejaculation is often referred to as natural contraception, which sounds great, but the actual results achieved are not commendable. Do you know that a woman's ovulation date is influenced by many factors? Unlike a clock, which is correct, is it safe for a man to have sperm enter the woman's vagina before ejaculation begins, which greatly increases the chances of a chaotic pregnancy? It is recommended to abandon this method.
2. Occasionally without danger
Truth: Sometimes fate is so unfair. Some people may not necessarily get a baby, while others may bloom when they meet occasionally. Therefore, never hold a lucky mentality. Meeting healthy sperm and eggs at the appropriate time and place means that a new life is about to be born. Abnormal pregnancies can lead to very dangerous ectopic pregnancies and deformed newborns
3. Physiological day is a safe period
The truth: Many people believe that it is unscientific for women not to become pregnant during the physiological cycle. More importantly, during the physiological period, the uterus is in a period of vascular spasm and hematoma formation, and the endometrial tissue is in a state of necrosis and detachment. When too intimate, it is easy to have secondary infections, bleeding, and other situations. Therefore, it is important to take care of and show consideration for women
