This is also known as the rhythm method. The idea behind this method is to work out on what days you ovulate. However Generally speaking a woman ovulates in the middle of her menstrual cycle. For example If a woman has a 28 day menstrual cycle she ovulates on the 14 th day after the first day of her menstruation (periods). If you take into account that the mans sperm can stay alive within a woman after being ejaculated for about 4 days That would mean you are at risk of becoming pregnant if you have sex on the 10 th day after the first day of your periods. When you ovulate on day 14 the ovum wil stay viable for about 2 days before breaking up. this means that you will definitely be likely to become pregnant on day 10 through to amd including day 16. If the ovum is not fertilized by sperm it wil break up and hormones wil be activated that will bring on your next period. If you are considering this method for avoiding pregnancy I would avoid sex between days 8 and 18 to be on the safe side. If your menstrual cycle is regular you are also taking extra risk by not using a condom.
