My partner insists on 'safe days,' but I'm not so sure

My partner is being too casual about protection and says, ‘according to the calendar, today is safe, nothing will happen.’ But I can’t be that sure. Honestly, I don’t trust these calculations much either. Should I have a serious talk about this, or am I overreacting? It feels like we might be making a big mistake without realizing it.

I experienced the same thing. They said we are so safe, and then I realized my period was late. I rushed to the hospital in a sweat, it was just a delay due to stress, but at that moment, I was seriously scared. I think you shouldn’t take any risks.

To be honest, I don’t believe in this calendar method at all. Ovulation is variable after all; it doesn’t work like clockwork every month. I think condoms or something are a lot more reliable. These kinds of calculations are extremely risky.

I think you’ve exaggerated a bit. After all, there is such a thing as safe days; how are you going to get pregnant if the egg isn’t there? If your period is regular, there shouldn’t be a problem.

I don’t know which sources you learned from, but there’s no guarantee of a safe day. My doctor friend says sperm can live for days, so it could be a surprise.

The effectiveness of natural methods for preventing pregnancy is around 70%. This means that one in 30 people becomes pregnant. I would recommend choosing a more reliable method, such as birth control pills or condoms.

Thanks for the comments, friends. Let me add something: It’s not me who keeps track of the schedule; it’s him. So I don’t know anything about the calculations. The reason I want to trust him is actually this, but I’m still not sure.

What kind of logic is this? Just because they’re keeping the calendar, does that make it right? I don’t understand why you’re taking such a big risk. Would it be so bad if you consulted a doctor?

My daughter, if you were my daughter, I would give you two slaps. These things are no child’s play. Safe days, calendars, all of that is just nonsense. The issue is your health; you need to go out and protect yourself like everyone else.
