How to Handle Safe Period Contraception Correctly? Is Safe Period Contraception Really Safe
Safe period contraception is a physiological contraceptive method that allows sexual activity to be carried out in a normal state and can achieve satisfactory sexual appeal. However, if not strictly grasped or used improperly, it is easy to fail.
How to grasp contraception correctly during the safe period
To use safe period contraception, the first step is to accurately measure the ovulation period. At present, each of the three methods for measuring ovulation period has its advantages and disadvantages: the calendar method can be used to calculate the safe period of ovulation, before ovulation, and after ovulation. However, it is only applicable to women with normal menstruation. Due to changes in the environment and feelings, ovulation will be advanced or delayed. Therefore, the basal body temperature measurement method can measure the ovulation date and the safety period after ovulation, but cannot predict the safety period before ovulation. This method is troublesome and strict. If the temperature is not measured according to the regulations, the ovulation date cannot be measured correctly: cervical mucus observation method can measure the safety period before and after ovulation, with high accuracy, But users must receive training and complete mastery before they can use it. The combination of three methods of contraception during the safe period can avoid long and short periods, resulting in greater effectiveness.
First, basal body temperature measurement. Basal body temperature refers to the body temperature of a healthy person after waking up in the morning, which is generally the lowest body temperature in a day. Women of normal reproductive age experience an immediate increase in body temperature after ovulation and continue until the beginning of the next menstrual cycle. Use the change rule of a woman's basal body temperature to find her ovulation period, and do not have sexual intercourse in the first 3-4 days and the last 5-7 days.
Secondly, it is the calendar method. For example, if the menstrual cycle is always accurate, ovulation may occur on the 14th day after menstruation, approximately 2-5 days after ovulation. Sperm entering the female reproductive tract can survive for 1-3 days, so avoiding sexual intercourse 3-4 days before ovulation and 5-7 days after ovulation can avoid pregnancy
Women with regular menstrual cycles have a generally stable ovulation time. Having sex during a safe period to achieve the purpose of contraception is called the safe period contraception method. This method is not suitable for young people. Because the frequency of sexual intercourse cannot be separated by about a week. This method is suitable for middle-aged people.
Finally, observe the changes in vaginal secretions. Female vaginal secretions vary regularly with different periods of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, there is more and more mucus, and there is a sense of dampness in the vagina. The mucus becomes clear and can be stretched, up to 10 centimeters in length. The last day of this mucus persistence is usually the ovulation period. Do not have sexual intercourse for the first 3-4 days and the next 5-7 days.
