Is safe period contraception unsafe? Three reasons for contraceptive failure during the safe period must be understood

Everyone has their own standards for the quality of sexual life in their hearts, and many men cannot have high-quality sex without condoms. This idea cannot be said to be wrong. Although I don't like condoms, if I choose safe period contraception, I must bear the unexpected pregnancy consequences. As a result, the probability of unintended pregnancy is high for this contraceptive method.

Why is it unsafe to use contraception during the safe period?

The safe period refers to excluding the remaining time during a woman's menstrual and ovulation periods. The popular algorithm is "first seven to eight", which means the first seven days before the first day of menstruation and the last eight days after the end of menstruation. Let's first understand the official failure rate of safety and contraception. The World Health Organization has announced that the failure rate of safe period contraception is about 5%, but in reality, this probability is far more than that, and can actually reach 25%. Compared to the 99% safety rate of condoms, the safety rate of safe period contraception is absurdly low.

Why does safe period contraception fail?

1. Irregular menstruation

Not every woman's menstrual period is regular, and a large proportion of women have irregular periods. Each woman's ovarian function and hormone levels vary, which can affect the arrival date of their monthly menstrual cycle. Irregular menstruation can lead to poor natural ovulation. If it is difficult to predict the danger period, the safe period may not be accurate. If sexual activity happens during ovulation without taking contraceptive measures, unexpected pregnancy may occur.

2. Irregular ovulation

It is possible to speculate on the ovulation period, but ovulation does not necessarily occur on a specific day. In addition, ovulation is also influenced by many factors, including external environment, stress factors, etc. Some women ovulate earlier, while others delay, which makes the calculation of the safe period meaningless.

3. Women are prone to pregnancy

Some women have not been pregnant for several years, and some women who take contraceptive measures are particularly prone to getting pregnant. In fact, this is related to their physical condition, and some women are prone to getting pregnant. The first seven to eight calculation method is actually too rough, and the risk is too high for women who are prone to pregnancy.

Which contraceptive method is reliable?

At present, condoms are relatively reliable condoms, which are very convenient to use, and once used, they will not affect the pleasure of sexual life, and can also prevent the spread of some sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to condoms, oral short-acting contraceptives can also be used, and taking one contraceptive pill every day can also achieve the goal of contraception. If a woman is a child, regardless of whether she plans to conceive or not in the future, she can use an intrauterine contraceptive device as a contraceptive method. If you get married and have children, and you don't want to have another child in the future, you can go for birth control surgery. Men can have vasectomy, and women can have tubal ligation. It should be noted that male vasectomy is reversible, and if you want to conceive again in the future, you can have recanalization surgery. And for women, tubal ligation is irreversible, and careful consideration should be given before performing it.
