When in the menstruation cycle can sex can be made without protection to prevent pregnancy?

Answer 1

Most health care providers will tell you there is no real safe day because there is always a slight chance you can become pregnant, if your cycle is not always regular.

Ovulation (fertile period) occurs about 14 days before your period starts, so first, you must know the duration of yourmenstrual cycle: the first day of your last menstrual period (first day of bleeding) to the first day of your next menstrual period. This is the duration of your menstrual cycle.

The duration varies from woman to woman, it averages between 25 and 33 days.

Ovulation occurs nears the middle of the cycle for most women, day 8 to day 21 (depending on the duration of your cycle).

One week before and one week after the approximate day of ovulation is considered to be your fertile period.

The days before and after the fertile period is called the safe period. If your cycle is every 30 days, your fertile period runs from day 9 until day 23. Days 1 - 8 and 24 - 30 would be considered your "safe period". (Remember sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to a week!)

Because illness, stress, dieting and emotions can throw off the fertile period, this method is not highly recommended for women who do not want to become pregnant. Learning more about your cycle; cervical mucus changes, changes to the cervix, etc, is a much safer and effective means of natural family planning.
