safe days
Low conception risk
Safe days are the days in a woman's menstrual cycle when she is least likely to become pregnant—typically before ovulation and after the fertile window has passed.
The term belongs to the rhythm method of birth control, which relies on tracking cycles to avoid intercourse during fertile periods.
The concept is notoriously unreliable since cycles vary: We thought we were in the safe days, but here we are expecting.
