Tips

usage
危险期 has two main contexts: in medical/news reporting it's the touch-and-go phase after surgery or trauma when survival is uncertain. In family planning, 危险期 is the colloquial term for the fertile window when unprotected sex is most likely to result in pregnancy — opposite of 安全 ('safe period').
