The best way to avoid pregnancy is to not have sex. Otherwise the menstrual cycle of a right -aged female varies from 28 to 30 days. With ovulation occuring about 12 days after the end of the previous menstraul cycle and lasting about 48 to 72 hours. Sperm can live inside the female body for about 72 hours..So unprotected sex within 3 days of this ovulation period will result in a pregnancy. Because of irregular cycles, hormone fluxuations and various other factors that can happen it is always important to have adequate birth control. Even if you have sex during menstration. Some "periods" aren't periods. Always be smart...Be safe...

Lunaception is a form of birth control that depends upon the woman practicing it to align her menstrual cycle with the phases of the moon. The method was developed by Louise Lacey in 1974 through her book, "Lunaception : a feminine odyssey into fertility and contraception." The fundamental premise of the method is that nature and the universe are full of rhythyms and cycles. Women can come into balance with their own fertility by paying attention to the evolutionary connection between menstruation and the moon. The method has never been tested under controlled scientific conditions and is therefore termed a pseudoscience.

The theory is primarily based upon personal testimonies of the author and anthropological studies of various ancient cultures that drew a link between menstruation and the moon. Lacey claims that hundreds of different references to connections between women and the moon, and between menstruation and the moon, have been documented. Furthermore, Lacey documented that many languages have a common root word for "moon" and "menstruation." For example, in English, "menstruation" comes from the Latin word "mensis" which means "month" and is related to moon. Lacey also claimed that in many cultures, menstruation arrived with the new moon and fertility came with the full moon.

Lacey posits that before electricity, most women had their menstrual cycles with the phases of the moon and at more or less the same time as all other women. The method uses light to control ovulation. In practice, all light should be blocked from coming into the bedroom at night. During the three fullest days of the moon (the day of the full moon and the days preceding and following), a small light should shine throughout the night in the room. This can be as simple as a small nightlight or desk light. After several months, the menstrual cycle should come into balance with the light. When attempting to conceive, intercourse is had on those three nights when the moon is fullest.

Tom Robbins made lunaception a subplot in his novel, "Still Life with Woodpecker." Elizabeth Matilde Maderal choreographed a dance piece entitled "Lunaception" (2003) during her time as a BDA dance student at the University of Michigan.

Well it all varies from person to person depending on the length of your cycle.... However this is NOT the best method of birth control. the 1st part of your cycle is when you build up the uterus lining for pregnancy the second it when you ovulate the 3rd is when your uterus is trying to keep the very young baby then the 4th is when you shed the lining if you are not pregnant causing menses.... so there really is no easy way of saying you can have sex on xyz dates and not get pregnant. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy the best way is abstinence however if you are not going to abstain you need oral, trans-dermal or implanted contraception.

The rhythm method uses statistical data from past cycles to predict future cycles and is unreliable. (There's a joke that says there's a name for people who use the rhythm method... parents!)

Now, if you want to use Natural Family Planning, which uses basal body temperature, quality of cervical mucous and position of the cervix as indicators of fertile and infertile times, you can either read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler or inquire locally about taking a seminar in NFP. If you are prepared to chart your cycles religiously, you can determine when in your cycle you are safe to have unprotected sex. At fertile times you have to be prepared to abstain entirely or use an alternate form of birth control.

ok - I believe the word is actuallly mensus. Keep this in mind - everyone's cycle is different but it's wise to have very safe sex from the first day of your period until the 14th day after it starts.

Don't have sex at all if you haven't figured out yet how your body works.

No part of it will help you avoid pregnancy.
If you dont even know how this works, chances are you are too young or too unaware/unprepared to be engaging in sex, not to be insulting, but to be advising you.

Not a good idea! Its not 100% failproof ( i think you'll have a 40% chance of getting pregnant) so if i where you i'd use a pill and/or condom.
