Is counting safe days really effective in preventing pregnancy?
Counting safe days is a natural birth control method used by many, by avoiding intercourse during the expected ovulation days. However, in reality, this method has a high risk because
- Each person’s menstrual cycle varies each month
- Factors such as stress, insufficient rest, or bodily fluctuations can easily cause ovulation days to shift
- Sperm can live in the body for up to 5 days
All of this makes counting safe days not a birth control method, it cannot prevent pregnancy. If you want to seriously prevent pregnancy, it is recommended to use
- Condoms
- Oral contraceptives, implants, injections, or IUDs
- Consult a specialist to choose the method that suits you
