Safe period is a long-standing contraceptive method that appears 100% natural and has no side effects, making it a great choice. However, many people have certain doubts about various contraceptive methods. So, is it safe for women during their safety period? How do women self test during their safety period?
Is the female safety period safe?
The answer is that calculating the safe period seems to have no side effects, but due to many uncertain factors such as changes in the physiological cycle, the contraceptive effect is unreliable and cannot be considered safe at all.
The principle of safety period sounds reliable, but in reality, there is no ideal state, and calculation faces many difficulties.
The commonly used safety period calculation methods are simple estimates such as the first seven to eight and the first three to four, but they are only calculated based on the most recent menstrual cycle. In order to accurately calculate this algorithm, a woman's physiological cycle must be as accurate as a clock. In fact, not all women ovulate regularly, and even women who ovulate regularly experience fluctuations in their physiological cycle due to environmental, emotional, and health conditions, making it difficult to ensure complete punctuality. Therefore, such calculations can bring significant errors.
In order to reduce this error, there are also some more accurate methods for calculating the safety period, such as the Augino formula. This method should record the menstrual cycles of the past 6-12 months, and select the values of the longest and shortest cycles as important parameters to calculate the safety period. The definition of menstrual cycle is from the first day of menstruation to the day before the next menstrual cycle.
This method is more reliable than simple estimation. Because the longest and shortest values of multiple cycles seem to smooth out the fluctuations of the cycles. However, it is very cumbersome to use, and even so, it cannot escape the influence of uncertainty, and the calculation cycle is almost a small probability event. Relying on safe period contraception is basically a matter of luck and character building.
In addition, other factors may also affect the calculation of the safety period. The safe period is generally calculated based on the menstrual cycle observed by women themselves. In fact, vaginal bleeding may not necessarily be the true menstrual period, but may also be other conditions such as ovulation bleeding. If non menstrual bleeding is calculated incorrectly, the safe period cannot be calculated either.
