How to Apply Safe Days? 💡
Track Your Cycle 📅
To use the safe days method, you first need to know how long your cycle is. This means tracking the first day of your period (Day 1) and how many days it takes until your next period starts. A typical cycle is about 28 days, but it can be shorter or longer.

Understand Ovulation Day 🥚
Ovulation (when the egg is released) usually happens around Day 14 in a 28-day cycle. This is the “fertile window” where pregnancy is most likely. So, the days just before and after ovulation are the risky days.

Safe Days 🚫🤰

Before Ovulation (Days 1-9): These are your safe days, since the egg hasn’t been released yet, and sperm won’t find anything to fertilize.

After Ovulation (Days 15-28): If the egg isn’t fertilized, it starts to break down. So these days are also safe, though not 100%!

Avoiding Risks ⚠️

Days 10-17: These days are risky because they’re around ovulation, and sperm can survive for up to 5 days. So, if you have sex during this time, there’s a chance of pregnancy.

Example:
If your cycle is 28 days:

Safe Days: Days 1-9 (before ovulation) and Days 15-28 (after ovulation).

Risky Days: Days 10-14, especially Day 14, which is when ovulation happens.

The cycle can be different for everyone. If it’s shorter or longer than 28 days, ovulation may happen earlier or later, so always track and pay attention to your body. 👀
