One way to prevent unwanted pregnancy is to calculate dates at which conception is impossible. If you have a regular cycle, then it will not be difficult to calculate a safe day, for this there are many methods. But for those to whom the body presents surprises in the form of delays or an earlier start of menstruation, you should not even try to protect yourself in this way.
It should be noted right away: one must not forget that the human body is not a mechanism that can work without failures and breakdowns. Even if you have not had a single delay for the past 15 years, and ovulation occurred exactly on the 14th day, this does not mean that in the future you are insured against its shift for a couple of days. If you use this method exclusively for protection, then always be prepared for an unplanned miracle. Many women tell the seemingly incredible stories of the conception of their crumbs. In some, the egg was fertilized immediately after menstruation, in others on the safest day - before they begin.
To increase the reliability of the calendar method, basal temperature can be measured in parallel with it. This will give a more complete picture of the processes taking place in the body. So, if you are not afraid of an accidental pregnancy, but do not plan it yet and want to avoid contraception, then you need to know what the calendar of safe days looks like. It is not difficult to calculate it, the main thing is to know the basic principles on which the work of the woman's reproductive system is based.
So, on the day of ovulation, which occurs with a standard cycle of 28 days on the 14th day, there is the greatest chance of becoming pregnant. Given that active and healthy sperm can be in the uterus or tubes for up to 5 days, it should be considered dangerous not only the release date of the egg, but also 5 days preceding this event. To refrain from contacts without protection should be for several days after ovulation has occurred. Do not forget to take into account the possible error in determining the day of release of the egg. So, this can happen a few days earlier or later, if in the next cycle you were nervous, made long trips, changed the climate zone, got sick.
Many factors can affect the day of follicle rupture, therefore it is not always possible to accurately determine a safe day for making love without additional protection. You can not be afraid to get pregnant if you do not protect yourself somewhere before the 8th and after the 20th day of the cycle (you need to count from the moment when the discharge began). It should be noted that the safest days are before menstruation, while it is desirable that ovulation be confirmed. One of the most reliable methods by which you can find out whether an egg has come out is ultrasound. But he, fortunately, is not the only one. You can measure your body temperature in the rectum in the morning or use ovulation tests.
Knowing when a safe day will come for having sex without contraception, you can better relax and enjoy love. But if you can’t boast of a regular cycle, then you must additionally use other methods: these can be other methods of determining the date of ovulation, as well as various means of protection.
