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.
