A menstrual cycle is the entire reproductive phase of a female human - a woman can only get pregnant if she has sex on the days when there is fertile quality cervical mucus prsent, which is typically on ovulation and about a week before hand (during a 28 day cycle this will likely be days 7-16). Unless a woman is using fertility awareness methods she cannot kow for sure when she is fertile or not, thus if she wants to avoid pregnancy she should always use Birth Control - if TTC she should consider using FAM to icnrease chances.
