Question 1

is it safe to have protected sex 3 days before my menstral cycle starts?

Accepted Answer

Protected sex: by definition, protected sex, with a condom, prevents pregnancy and STD's regardless of time during cycle

Question 2

during what part of the menstrual cycle are you able to get pregnant? are there any really safe days?

Accepted Answer

Mid-cycle: You are able to conceive around ovulation, which 'usually' happens artound the 14th day of a 28-day cycle. Since sperm are active for roughly 2-3 days, unless you can pinpoint exactly when yoru ovulation is there are no truly safe days.

Question 3

the first day of my last period was 11,oct.what are the safe days in my mentrual cycle where i can have intercourse and not be pregnant? length of my menstrual cycle is 28 to 32 days

Accepted Answer

Birth control: There is never really a safe time to have intercourse without condoms and birth control if you don’t want to be pregnant. The pullout method has around a 20% failure rate. There are so many great options to choose from. Ovulation is about 14 days before your next period.

Question 4

i have a question here. is it safe if i have unprotected sex with my girl and ejaculate in her on safe days of her menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

You decide: There are no absolute "safe days".Pregnancy from unprotected sex has been documented on any day of a woman's cycle, including during menses.What you describe is affectionately known as Vatican roulette.If you are not ready for pregnancy, use appropriate preventive measures, not just hoping it will work.

Question 5

good day, i recently started with contraceptive pill (mercilon) ive only had the pills for 2 days, doctor said they will only be effective after my next menstrual cycle, is it safe to take morning after pill after unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

:  Backwards thinking. Morning after pill is to be used after failure of contraceptive  not as part of your plan for contraception. Try doing something as simple as condom use (male or female) until your contraceptive pill is fully effacacious.

Question 6

good day, i recently started with birth control pill (mercilon) ive only had the pills for 2 days, doctor said they will only be effective after my next menstrual cycle, will it be safe to take morning after pill after unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

: Morning after pill has progesterone in it, which is also in your contraceptive pills, so that would be a lot of progesterone &amp; might have side effects.  If you have not already taken it I recommend not, though it may not harm.  Use of a condom or abstaining from sex until a full month of contraceptive is preferable

Question 7

to what extent is ejaculating inside on the first day after menstrual cycle considered safe?

Accepted Answer

IF the periods are : If the periods are very regular and occur predictably -  then it would likely be 'safe' (i.e. Unlikely to result in conception/pregnancy) to have unprotected intercourse and ejaculate inside on the first day after the menstrual cycle.

Question 8

i had unprotected sex on the 21st day of my menstrual cycle, immediately after i took levonorgestrel pills. i'm i safe? this happened yesterday by 4pm

Accepted Answer

Quite effective: Emergency contraception (EC) pills are used after sex to lower the chance of pregnancy by about 70-80%. EC is a high dose of birth control hormones. Irregular bleeding or spotting is a common side effect. Nausea, abdominal pain or cramping, and fatigue may occur, but symptoms resolve in a day or two as the drug leaves the body soon. A home urine pregnancy test should be done 3 weeks after sex.

Question 9

is it safe to have sex just after the menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Safety?: Safe  - yes. But would use some form of protection against pregnancy.

Question 10

is it safe to have sex after menstrual cycle without protection?

Accepted Answer

Fertile times: Usually right after a period is 'safe' but it is more reliable to use pills.
