at what time[before or after my periods] should i have sex so that i do not conceive?

Answer 1

The answer is not as simple as listing a number of days. If you want to avoid pregnancy by timing sex for safe times, you need to chart your cycles. For details, read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler; it has detailed information and is over 97% effective if done correctly--more effective than the Pill during the first year of use (which is about 90%). This is called "Natural Family Planning" or "Fertility Awareness Method". Do *not*, however, try to use it based on a few paragraphs you read on Yahoo Answers or a Web page. If you want to use it, you need to read the book, adn the one I suggested above is the most thorough, complete, and easiest to use.

Answer 2

You should always use protection if you're planning on having sex. Not only does it protect you from getting pregnant but it also protects you from various other diseases that you could get.

However, in light of the question here's what I've been told...

You ovulate 14 days before you actually start 'bleeding'. In that 14 days you are fertile and stand a higher chance of getting pregnant. BUT, you could at any other point run the risk of getting oregnant. Though some women use this 'plotting' as a form of birth control it is, on the scale of birth control ratings, the least reliable.

If you need to figure out when you ovulate, simply count backwards from the day you started bleeding 14 days and there would be the day you ovulate. Provided that your cycle remains the same and doesn't deviate from a plotted schedule it is 'theoretically' a method of birth control.

Again, the best defense against pregnancy is protection or abstinence.

Answer 3

the calender method only works with regular periods but works well if you do it correctly I will explain it

every women ovulates 14 days before the first day of her next period (unless you have a rare luthel phase defect) the egg is able to be fertilized 24 hours after you ovulate and sperm can survive about 5 days inside you.

using the above information you can figure the most likely time you can get pregnant and avoid having sex during that time (or use back up birthcontrol)

first mark the day you will start your next period and count 14 days back mark this day as the day you ovulate, for the five days before and the day after this day you can get pregnant.

if you have irregular periods you will have difficulty using this method because you do not know when to expect your next period.

Answer 4

There' no simple answer to that one. Most women ovulate 12-16 days before their next period, but ovulation in any given cycle could be delayed due to stress or illness and you'd not know it unless you were charting your cycles and you knew what to look for.

The Fertility Awareness Method allows you to determine for yourself when your fertile and infertile days are based on your basal body temperature and the condition of your cercival mucous. Either read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler or inquire locally about seminars in FAM.

Short of charting your cycles, any information you receive here or elsewhere saying this day or that day is safe is likely to apply only to the mythical "average" woman and cannot be relied upon to prevent pregnancy.

Answer 5

no time is 100% SURE of not getting pregnant. CHANCES are lower just after a period up to a week just before one. THE middle of the cycle from anywhere 12 to 17 days your chances are better of getting pregnant. IN THE END THATS A POOR WAY to advoid pregnancy because a women will not always ovulate at the same time.

Answer 6

If you do not want to get pregnant, what you NEED to do is get on some birth control or do not have sex, plain and simple. Condoms are not 100% effective and birth control pills are not 100% effective, not having sex is 100% effective.

Not having sex will put your mind at ease and you won't have to worry about conceiving a child.

Answer 7

I think that 14 days after your period starts is when you ovulate, so don't have sex around half way between the first date of one period to the next.

Answer 8

if you have sex you will get pregnant. There is no sure fire way to avoid when you're ovulating, even if you have tested to find out when your peek ovulation time is, it doesnt mean that your body will ovulate at the same time every cycle.

use protection, or better yet just dont have sex.

children have no choice in when their concieved, to whom theyre born, or even that they want you for a parent, but you have every single chioce in whether or not to make them.

stop it.

Answer 9

14 days after your period, you are ovulating so there is a high risk of getting pregnant. You start counting from the first day that you had your period.

Answer 10

At NO time should you have sex so you don't concieve without birth control. Even then it's still possible. If you are serious about this question you shouldn't be having sex- you are not educated enough!!!
