Answer 1

No there is no safe time to have unprotected sex.
Most women ovulate in the middle of their cycle, but everyone is different.
The only way to help prevent pregnancy is birth control or abstinence

Answer 2

There are 3 options: the rhythm method, natural family planning and withdrawal. The first two work if your periods are regular. For information on Natural Family Planning, you can get a booklet from your nearby Church because it is an approved form of birth control among the Catholic community (I'm not endorsing any religion here, it's just a source). With withdrawal (also called the pull out method) it is highly effective if he is in tune with his body. We've been using it now for 7 years successfully. As for counting days, our rule of thumb is that you can be carefree during your period and up to 3 days afterwards. Accordingly, a woman ovulates about 14 days after the first day of her period and these 3 days fall into that window before 14 days and so far it's worked for us. We don't use condoms or pills because I don't like what the pill did to me when I was on it and because neither of us like condoms. Congratulations on your recent marriage and I really hope this helps.

Answer 3

There are several ways to determine fairly closely when you will be ovulating. One method is to purchase an ovulation kit from the store. The only problem is that they're rather expensive and won't give you a positive reading until you've already started to ovulate....possibly too late by that time, since sperm can survive for several days in the fallopian tubes.

Another method is to chart your basal temperature each morning for several months. You should see the temperature peak at a fairly consistent number of days following the end of your menstrual cycle. This is the point at which you're ovulating. Steer clear of this time and you reduce (but don't necessarily eliminate) the chance of conception. This method is certainly less expensive than using an ovulation test, but it is also less accurate. You'll have to steer clear of unprotected intercourse for several days before and after the point at which you expect to ovulate. Even then, there are no guarantees. For an extra measure of protection, consider using a spermicidal lubricant or cream. They don't carry the same sort of side effects as hormonal birth control methods, but of course they are less reliable also.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Why dont you get an IUD Mirena put in, Its a birth control that is inserted in the lining of the uterus that releases small amounts of the hormone levonorgestrel. You can have it in for 5 years at a time and can be removed by your Doctor at anytime in case you decide to have children. There are very few side affects and usually disappear in four months.

*By the way the whole tracking the days thing doesnt always work. I have a 7 month old that was concieved while I was on my period.

Answer 5

No pills or condoms EXPECT TO GET PREGNANT! It puts him off? Get real. Don't want a baby, make him wear a condom or else.

Answer 6

thats known as the " Rythm method " and its not fool proof. i wouldnt depend on that alone for birth control.

Answer 7

its called the rthym method. The name for people who use the rthym method is Parents. its not that effective.
