unprotected sex

[onlooker]

is it safe to have unprotected sex after your partner has finished ovulating for 3 days?

[Ann Andriani]

A couple questions:

Is she on any type of birth control?
How does she know she's finished ovulating?

This doesn't necessarily mean that she's finished ovulating. Women have a discharge of varying degrees and consistencies throughout their cycle. It's not an accurate way to chart ovulation.

The simple answer is, there's never a safe time for unprotected sex, especially if you're not ready for a child and your partner's not using any birth control or other forms of protection. No protection is the same as russian roulette, maybe it'll work out for you and maybe it won't, but the more times you play unprotected, the more of a chance your partner has of getting pregnant.

can you tell me when the best time to have unprotected sex is in regards to the menstral cycle and ovulation?

Seriously, don't do it. Either get her on the pill or use a condom. If not, she WILL get pregnant at some point.

If you dont want to use a condom and she doesnt want any type of hormonal birth control, look for other alternatives that are out there (foam, gel, diaphram, etc.). If you dont want a kid now or in the near future, why risk that chance?

Agreed! There is no 100% safe time to have unprotected sex!

The rhythm cylce is not the best method to go by and I never recommend it. You would really need to be in touch with her cycle, and even then the prospect of an unwanted pregnancy is high IMHO. There's many options out there for birth control, aside from relying on ovulation, that I would recommend you explore!
