when is the safest time?

[MyNinja]

I have a serious question here

 

Is the best time to have sex directly after your period the best time in order to not risk pregnancy or should I wait a few days after my period has passed??

Are you on any type of birth control?

Are you on any type of birth control?

 

 

I was thinking the same thing

after menopause! lol! j/k

 

The best time would be a couple of days after you ovulated because the egg is already dead. Now the problem is there is no 100% way of being sure when it has happened. So stick to safe sex. Let your partner use condoms.

thanks you guys

You'll get some symptoms just a few days before your period, along with the pre menstrual syndrome.

 

Couple of days after you ovulated? How can you be sure when you ovulated?

 

Start of by writing down each period on the calendar, and calculate the average time for each period (from first day of the bleeding to the first day of the next bleeding). Ovulation usually happens 14 days before the first day of bleeding.

 

If your period is more accurate than a swiss watch, then you'll know that you should avoid unprotected sex at least 5 days before or after the ovulation. (+/- 3 days the sperm may live in your uterus, +/- 2 days for the egg to be released).

 

In the case of the period, the egg release date is not always constant, but the time after the egg was released to the date when the bleeding starts is 14 days, so...

 

If your period is not as accurate as a switch watch, forget about relying on the calendar, the only time it would be relatively safe for you, would be once you have all the symptoms that precede the bleeding. That is because, your body won't bleed until there is no way the egg could have survived.

 

 

 

Obviously, nothing is 100% safe, so before the birth control advocates jump on my throat, you must understand that sexual intercourse will always involve a pregnancy risk. Even if you are on birth control, and your lover uses a condom, there is a chance for you getting pregnant. It is all about being safe and trying to keep risk at a minimum.

 

If you are unable to use birthcontrol pills because of a cancer history on your family, you are on a stable relationship and both of you have been tested STD free, and you want to experience sex without the hassle of a condom, then try to be safe, for example, rythm plus pulling out methods. Quite effective, if done right.

One thing to remember is that tracking ovulation isn't solely a matter of counting periods - you'll also need to chart your cervical mucus for a fairly long stretch of time before you can be at all accurate.

The safest window can be calculated when you figure out when you are ovulating and ensure that you dont have sex near that time.

The "safest time" is when you're using condoms. And preferably some form of hormonal birth control.
