This question has been answered several times....

During your period is the safest. Next safest is no more than 5 days after the end of your period with each day past the end of your period being more risky than the next.

I don't advocate timing the "before" days of your period without the use of some physical indicator. The "before" days are very error prone because the exact onset of your period varies from month to month. If your period is late and you use the "before" method you may be having sex during your fertile time!

Don't take chances because you are never "kind of" pregnant. It is always, "Yes I am." or "No I'm not."

Answer

Hi,

There is no safe time unfortunately. That is simply a myth. The only way to avoid pregnancy is by using protection EVERY TIME.

Answer


Actually, both of these answers are slightly incorrect. During your period is not the "safest" time to have intercourse. If you have very short cycles, long periods, or if you are experiencing annovulatory "spotting" (which is not a true period), you could conceive a child from intercourse during your "period"*. The surest way to know the "safest" time to have intercourse is by charting your waking temperatures with a Basal Body Temperature Thermometer and keeping track of the quality of your cervical fluid. This is called the "sympto-thermal method" of Natural Family Planning, or the Fertility Awareness Method ("FAM"). Both your waking temperature and the quality of your cervical fluid change with the influx of certain hormones. This gives you the ability of knowing when you will likely ovulate and when you have ovulated. Because you cannot conceive a child after you have ovulated, the "safest" time to have intercourse is at least four days after the calculated ovulation date and before the onset of a new cycle (during the "luteal phase" of your cycle, which stays constant in duration). Keep in mind that it takes diligence in learning the method for this calculation to be effective, but, when practiced correctly, the method has a failure rate of approximately 2% per year, which is the same as the failure rate for condoms. This failure rate is even smaller if you abstain for longer periods of time and only have intercourse on the "safest" of days (in the middle of the luteal phase). For more information and verification of these statistics, see Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

*Note: there is a difference between conceiving during your period and conceiving from intercourse during your period. The first is not possible, but the second IS possible (since sperm could survive until ovulation).

Hello, There is no safe time to have unprotected sex. You can even become pregnant during your period. During your period there is a 1% risk of pregnancy occurring. Outside of your period there is a 2% risk of pregnancy occurring. During Ovulation there is a very high risk that pregnancy may occur. So basically to prevent pregnancy you need to abstain from sex or use the necessary precautions (ie; a condom, Birth Control etc)

Without protection, there is really no safe way since it is possible to get pregnant any time of month, and that includes on your period although it is not quite as common to get pregnant on your period.

A woman is not likely to get pregnant two days before, during, or two days after her period, but menstrual cycles can vary month to month, and a woman could get pregnant if she is at the start of a short cycle (e.g., 14 days long).

Usually about a week after the last period, a week before ovulation. However, be aware, there is no "best day." Depending on the longevity of the sperm and the timing of ovulation, pregnancy can occur at virtually any time.

If you are wearing a condom it does not matter, any time is fine. Most of the month is safe to have sex without getting pregnant. What you have to do is work when your fertile period is. You can do this by Googling the term "menstrual cycle" there are many sites that will explain the fertile times in your particular case.

You have your ovulation on day 14 of your menses, if you have a cycle of 28 days. You have your ovulation on day 16 when you have a cycle of 30 days. Three days before and after this date are called as safe period. In this danger period, you have to use condom or some other method of contraception to avoid pregnancy.
