Please don't believe rhythm, what your read about the rhythm method, or anyone who tells you the time of day has anythng to do with conception. The world is filled with children who were born when couples kept track and thought the time was safe. Abortion clinics are also full of them too. Use some type of birth control AND CONDOMS.

The rhythm method, the Billings method, and natural family planning are three ENTIRELY different things. The first one is an urban myth and doesn't work. The second two work but take a lot of diligence and effort.
Anyone who tells you that the rhythm method is the same as natural family planning, basal body temperature measuring, or the Billings method does not know the definition of any of these terms.
What rhythm, quintai, and diprakras describe is the rhythm method and will get your girlfriend pregnant. There is no standard number of days that you can add onto the day a woman's period starts to determine fertility or infertility. Every woman is different. Every cycle is different. Adding a fixed number will end up with 1+1=3.
Exercise, diet, stress, and natural variability will shift the time of ovulation from cycle to cycle. Ovulation needs to be determined for each cycle, not based on a guess for the "average" woman's "average" cycle. Do that and you'll get the "average" number of babies.

USE THE RHYTHM METHOD
What Is It?
The rhythm method is a way to prevent pregnancy by not having sex around the time of ovulation (the release of an egg during a girl's monthly cycle). Couples who do want to have a baby can also use this method to have sex during the time that they are most likely to conceive. It is sometimes called natural family planning, periodic abstinence, or fertility awareness.
How Does It Work?
If a couple doesn't have sex around the time of ovulation, the girl can't get pregnant. The trick is knowing when ovulation happens. Couples use a calendar, a thermometer to measure body temperature, a kit that tests the thickness of cervical mucus, or a kit that tests for ovulation. The ovulation kits are more useful for couples who are trying to get pregnant. The fertile period around ovulation lasts 6 to 9 days and during this time the couple should not have unprotected sex.
How Well Does It Work?
The rhythm method is not a reliable way to prevent pregnancy for most teens. Over the course of 1 year, as many as 25 out of 100 typical couples who rely on the rhythm method to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. Of course, this is an average figure, and the chance of getting pregnant depends on whether a couple uses one or more of the rhythm method tools correctly and consistently and that they do not have unprotected sex during the fertile period.
In general, how well each type of birth control method works depends on a lot of things. These include whether a person has any health conditions, is taking any medications that might interfere with its use, whether the method chosen is convenient — and whether it is used correctly all the time. In the case of the rhythm method, it also depends on how consistent a woman's ovulatory cycle is and how accurately a couple keeps track of when she could be ovulating.

Average life of sperm after sex is about 3 days. The ovulation in a girl takes place around 12-16th day.
Keeping margins both sides, it is safer to have sex during 1st and last week of her menstrual cycle.
The failure rate of 25 in 100 given in one of the answers mean that 100 couple use this method for 1 year then 25 of them get pregnant. I do not know whether the figure of 25 is correct. I think it is lower.

its very easy to for your girl friend to keep track of her ovulation if she has a regular period, got to ovulation calender.com, a woman is most feritile 14 days after her period, so like the week before and the week after you have nothing to worry about. Tell her to down load the calender, you can try it out for like 30 days free, but just have her make it down on a regular calendar. You ll see when you go there. The calendar will explain everything

When she is on the pill and you are wearing a condom. There are more things to consider than just pregnancy when it comes to unprotected sex. Don't take the risk of getting and/or giving an STD.

When you're using birth control, or after she's gone through menopause. Those are truly the best times.

There is never a time. She can get pregnant when she is on her period too. Why don't you just wear a condom with spermicidal jelly? Play it safe. Do not take chances.

There isn't a best time. But in the morning is when there is more chances for a woman to conceive.

Get married first and then if a baby comes along you'll be ready to be a mom and dad.
