Many people believe that counting safe days is an effective method of contraception, but in reality, it may not be as safe as you think. Don’t let this belief lead you to face an unplanned pregnancy.
Why Counting Safe Days is Prone to Error
- A woman’s menstrual cycle is not always consistent. Ovulation may occur earlier or later than usual.
- Sperm can live in the body for a long time. Sperm can survive in the body for up to 5 days. If you have intercourse before ovulation, fertilization may occur.
- Stress and other factors affect the menstrual cycle. Changes in the body can cause irregular cycles, leading to miscalculations.
How Likely Are Errors
- Those who use the safe day counting method have up to a 24 percent chance of becoming pregnant.
- More effective contraception methods include condoms at 98 percent or birth control pills at 99 percent.
Safer Methods Than Counting Days
- Use condoms every time to prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
- Use effective contraception methods such as birth control pills, implants, or IUDs.
- Consult a specialist to choose the appropriate method.
Stop Risking, Switch to Safer Methods
Don’t let misunderstandings lead you to unexpected problems. Choose a truly effective method of contraception for a future you can control.
