adviceman49 answered Thursday April 30 2015, 9:48 am: The safest time to have unprotected sex, if this is what you are asking? Is for most women with a 28 day menstrual cycle the 7 days after their period and 7 days before their period. The 14 days between these times is when most women ovulate an is when there is the greatest chance of pregnancy.
The above is true for about 85% of women. The remaining 15% of women can ovulate anytime during their cycle; including while having their period. This is why if you're using the rhythm method of birth control, which is what the above is called, to prevent pregnancy. You have to know when you are ovulation.
The rhythm method of birth control is the least effective way to prevent pregnancy. Mainly because when you ovulate can change. This month you may ovulate on the 16yth day of your cycle. Next month on the 8th day. If next month you have sex on the 7th day of your cycle you could end up pregnant as sperm is viable for 3 days.
Also if you're not in a committed long term relationship not practicing safe sex exposes you to many STDS and the HIV/AIDS virus. Always use a condom even during your safe time as the condom is proven to be over 85% effective in preventing pregnancy when worn correctly.
