Dangerous days for pregnancy

What days are dangerous for pregnancy? In this case, it is important to note that only women who have a regular (settled) menstrual cycle can calculate the dangerous days for pregnancy. This method is called the physiological method of contraception and consists in the termination of sexual activity during the period when ovulation occurs. It is also possible to use additional contraceptive measures during this time interval.

The process of ovulation in a healthy woman is observed in the middle of the menstrual cycle, so the calculation should be carried out from the first day of the last menstruation to the beginning (the first day) of the next. In order for a woman to identify dangerous days for pregnancy, she needs to know the duration of her cycle at least for the previous six months (preferably a year). Among them, the greatest and shortest duration is revealed. For example, 30 and 27 days. Then it is necessary to subtract from the smaller value of 18 (we get 9 days), and from the larger of 11 (as a result of 19 days). Thus, the most dangerous days for pregnancy will be the period between the 9th and 19th day of the cycle. It turns out that of normal sex life 10 days fall out, which sometimes does not fit all women.

In addition, the fertilization and subsequent development of pregnancy occurs when the sperm is encountered with the egg, so that in determining the most dangerous days for pregnancy, one should not forget that the duration of the sperm "life" is from two to five days (according to different sources), and the oocytes - up to two days.

Determining dangerous days for pregnancy through a daily measurement of basal temperature may not yield the desired result. This is due to the possible probability of ovulation displacement under the influence of external and internal factors. Nevertheless, you can make a kind of calendar with the purpose of identifying dangerous days for pregnancy. In addition to the duration of each cycle, the data will be recorded in addition to the data after measuring the temperature, taking into account possible errors. For example, an increase in temperature can be caused by alcohol intake, inflammatory processes in the intestine, etc. Currently, such calendars are available online. You only need to enter the exact data regarding the beginning of critical days, as after a few seconds you can get the necessary information.

Physiological method of contraception is not suitable for those women who take hormonal drugs. At present, more and more couples are refusing such a method of calculating hazardous pregnancy days due to its low efficiency. Therefore it is better to consult a gynecologist beforehand, as far as this method is acceptable for you.

Someone believes that having sex during menstruation does not lead to pregnancy. But these days are dangerous for conception, just like many others. For someone, such sex delivers additional sensations. Others believe that this is simply unhygienic. Nevertheless, according to studies of doctors, ectopic pregnancy is observed in many women who had sex just during menstruation.

If the fact of pregnancy is obvious, and future parents have determined that the birth of the child at present will not cause problems (both household and material), remember that during pregnancy there are dangerous days when the bearing of the fetus becomes compromised. For example, the most critical period is the entire first trimester, when drugs are highly contraindicated (highly undesirable).
