Is it safe to wear a condom during ovulation?

Since the female body is in a state of secreting eggs during ovulation, there is a high probability of pregnancy if sexual intercourse is performed at this time. Therefore, young couples who are not ready to have children should avoid having sex during the woman's ovulation period. However, many couples will also use condoms as a contraceptive method when having sex during the ovulation period. But is it absolutely safe to have sex during the ovulation period with condoms?

Can I get pregnant if I wear a condom during my ovulation period?

If you wear a condom the whole time, you won't get pregnant. Unless the condom breaks or falls off. Now that you are sure that the condom is not damaged and that you are using it correctly. Then you don’t need to worry about the possibility of pregnancy. Condoms are still quite effective in preventing pregnancy.

"Safe period" and "dangerous period" refer to the time interval during the menstrual cycle when the egg meets the sperm to become a fertilized egg and conception. This is called the "dangerous period", and the opposite is called the "safe period". Since the egg can be fertilized within two or three days after being released, and the sperm can survive for three or four days after being released and can enter the egg, if the ovulation day (usually 14 days before menstruation) is taken as the base, the first four days and the last five days are the dangerous period, and the rest are the safe period.

Troubles during the dangerous period. For example, if your period comes on the 20th, normally the ovulation period would be on the 6th. So, having sex between the 3rd and the 10th is likely to lead to fertilization and pregnancy. Therefore, the 3rd to 10th are called the "dangerous period"; the rest of the time is the "safe period". However, since it is difficult for most people to grasp the exact date of ovulation (in fact, the body temperature on the day of ovulation is higher than usual, the viscosity of vaginal mucus increases, etc.), most people calculate the "safe period" based on the menstrual period, with the 7 days before menstruation and the 5 days after menstruation as the "safe period". If you have your period on the 20th and are clean on the 27th, then the "safe period" is from the 13th of this month to the 3rd of next month. The safe period is what is called 'seven before and eight after'.

Why do I still get pregnant even with a condom?

The main reasons why you can get pregnant even if you wear a condom are as follows:

1. Accidental rupture during sexual intercourse: for example, the intercourse is too vigorous, or the ultra-thin condom is accidentally scratched by fingernails or rings.

2. The condom model is not suitable. Condoms that are too large or too small can easily fall off inside the vagina or rupture during sexual intercourse, allowing semen to flow into the vagina.

3. Not checking the condom carefully before use, resulting in using a condom with leaks.

4. The air in the small bag at the front of the condom is not squeezed out before putting it on, so the pressure in the bag increases after ejaculation, causing the condom to rupture and semen to flow out.

5. After ejaculation, before the penis softens, the condom and the penis are not pulled out of the vagina in time. After the penis softens, the semen overflows from between the penis and the condom into the vagina.

6. Some people are afraid that condoms will affect their sexiness, so they do not wear condoms at the beginning of sexual intercourse. They only put on condoms when they are about to ejaculate before pulling out the penis. This will not have any contraceptive effect. Because before ejaculation, a small amount of sperm has flowed into the vagina along with the urethral mucus. Sometimes, even if you don't want to ejaculate before the penis is pulled out of the vagina, a small amount of semen will be ejaculated unknowingly, resulting in contraceptive failure.

7. Improper use of lubricants: It has been observed that if mineral oil and vegetable oil such as Vaseline, ordinary lotion, etc. are applied on the surface of the condom, the strength of the latex condom will be weakened within 5 minutes.

8. Improper storage: Condoms will lose their strength if exposed to strong light, high heat, humidity and ozone.

Therefore, choose a condom of the right model, check it carefully before use, master the correct method of use, and if you find that the condom is broken or falls off in the vagina during use, you should stop sexual intercourse, remove the condom from the vagina, and then replace it with a smaller condom to continue sexual intercourse. If the condom falls off during or after ejaculation, remove the condom from the vagina immediately to avoid contraceptive failure.
