It's difficult to say for sure without knowing how long her monthly cycle is. Generally, women ovulate 14 days before their period. The time around ovulation is when she will be her most fertile, so anywhere between 4 days before ovulation and 4 days after are good times to avoid sex if she doesn't want to get pregnant. But, this isn't foolproof, because women's bodies don't always cooperate, and some months, she may ovulate earlier or later than expected.
Your best bet for avoiding pregnancy is abstinence. Barring that, condom use is more effective than the calendar method, as is the Pill. Combining the two (condoms and the Pill) are the most effective means of preventing pregnancy aside from abstinence, and will also protect you both from STI's.

Usually, a woman's most fertile time is midway in the menstrual cycle, about the 14th day after the period. However, there are many variables, and women have been known to become pregnant even during their periods. So to be on the safe side, use some form of birth control when you're having sex.

Condoms seem to be a good alternative. Don't go by when she is ovulating or whatever (this is what I think you mean). There is still a good chance she could get preg. even when she is NOT ovulating. Try using female condoms...birth control maybe...they have lots out there that are not very expensive.

You will need to find out when she is ovulating,nothing is really fool proof.
