The safe period refers to the
window period where a woman is
less likely to get pregnant if they
have unprotected intercourse.
Technically speaking, this safe
period falls between day 1-7 of the
period and Day 19 to the start of
the next cycle
The normal woman’s menstrual
cycle is supposed to last 28 days.
Of these only days 8 to 19 are
considered fertile i.e. a woman is
likely to have a baby through
unprotected intercourse, all other
days are safe. The cycle is
considered to begin with the first
day of bleeding and ends when
the bleeding starts again.
Opting to have sex during the ‘safe
period’ isn’t fool-proof though. A
lot of women have irregular cycles
and the cycle length can vary from
women to women. That’s why the
so-called ‘safe period’ is in truth
not that safe and it’s better to use
condoms or other contraceptive
methods like the oral pill to
prevent unwanted pregnancies.
