Calculating 'safe days' involves tracking your menstrual cycle. In a regular 28-day cycle, the 'safer' days are typically days 1 to 7, and days 21 until your next period. However, because cycle lengths can fluctuate, this method is not highly reliable on its own. For reliable pregnancy prevention, recommended options include: 1. Barrier methods: Condoms (which also protect against STIs). 2. Hormonal methods: Oral contraceptive pills (combined or progestin-only), patches, or vaginal rings. 3. Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC): Copper or hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants. Please consult a healthcare provider to find the safest and most effective option for your body.
