What is Safe Period?

It is the period when supposedly a woman has the least chance of getting pregnant. Women go
through monthly changes in their body in the name of the menstrual cycle. A monthly cycle has
two components:
a) Proliferating phase: This is the period which begins soon after the menstrual bleeding
starts.
b) Secretory phase: This is a constant period of 14 days, which you can count as 14 days
before you get your periods.
By no means, it provides a complete protection against pregnancy, since it has been seen that the
intercourse itself may trigger untimely ovulation.
You can use our safe days calculator to find out the safe days in your cycle for this month easily.

What is the Unsafe Period (Fertile Days)?


A woman conceives if she copulates within the time of ovulation. Hence the time of ovulation is
termed as the unsafe period to have sexual intercourse.

How to Calculate the Time of Ovulation?


. Suppose a woman has a cycle length of 30 days, the ovulation period roughly falls in the mid
10 days.
. So, to avoid pregnancy she has to better avoid unprotected sexual intercourse in this period.
. The rest of the days i.e ., starting from menstruation to the 10th day and again from 21st day up
to menstruation are the safe days or the safe period to avoid pregnancy.
