Are period calculators reliable for birth control?
No. Period calculators should never be used as a contraceptive method due to low accuracy rates, inability to account for sperm survival, and unpredictable ovulation timing. Even regular cycles can shift unexpectedly due to external factors, making calculator predictions unreliable for pregnancy prevention.
