Hello, the week before menstruation and the week during menstruation are considered the “menstrual safe period.” However, many individuals may experience unexpected ovulation during this so-called “safe period” due to environmental or psychological stressors; therefore, the menstrual safe period is not truly safe. If pregnancy is not desired, even during the menstrual safe period, effective contraception must be used during sexual intercourse. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
