I've said it many times before, and I'll reiterate for you once again. . .if you have sex, you can get pregnant. Period. If you are not ready for a child, do not have sex.

Your question would be easy to answer if we had perfect information and knew exactly when you are going to ovulate. But in real life we do not know exactly when you will ovulate. Even in women with very regular cycles, you can have one month all of a sudden be out of whack and ovulate earlier or later than usual.
Because of that, no time before ovulation has been confirmed is "safe". The fertile window starts 5 days before ovulation, but since we just don't know when you will ovulate, no day before ovulation has happened is safe.
After you ovulate, the egg is fertilizable for only about 12-24 hours. So in theory, by two days after ovulation, you cannot get pregnant for the rest of that cycle. The tricky part is, again, knowing *when* you ovulated. Even for women who have a lot of experience charting their cycles, this is not a foolproof thing, but generally three days of higher temperatures (using the BBT method) is considered proof of ovulation. It is then "safe" to have sex from that point until the first day of your period.
I must emphasize that the really tricky part is knowing when you ovulate. All of this hinges on the day of ovulation. If you get that day wrong, you may very well get pregnant. That's why people say it's possible to get pregnant on any day of the cycle -- it's not actually possible, but when we have such imperfect information, we have to act as though you may ovulate at any time, and that makes every day of the cycle unsafe for sex if you are trying to avoid pregnancy.

That depends... is she practicing a reliable form of birth control or not?
If you really want to know which days are safe and which days aren't you're talking about using the Fertility Awareness Method. FAM involves tracking your basal body temperature and cervical signs to determine when your fertile phase is. It can be used as a birth control method if you learn it thoroughly and use it carefully. Either read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler or inquire locally for seminars teaching FAM.

you can get pregnant at any time, ther is no time that you "cant get pregnant" its just VERY unlikely at certain times, but you cant really tell... You get your period because the egg is coming out of you, and when you dont get your period, that means its been fertilized(i.e Pregnancy) But even if theres not one all the way out of the ovaries, you CAN still get someone pregnant.

it depends on your period. To compute for the safe days (or what we call the "unfertile days"), the woman should determine the days of her regular menstruation or female reproductive cycle (FRC). deduct 14 days from the end of your "regular" cycle: this is your ovulation day. add 5 and minus 5 from this ovulation day and this is your "unsafe days". the remaining days are "safe or unfertile"
example: FRC = 29
deduct 14 (30-14=16)
add 5 and deduct 5 from day 16 or ovulation day: 11-21 are unsafe or fertile days
therefore, the remaining days of teh cycle: days 1-10 and 22-29 on your succeeding period are safe or "unfertile"
