Her cycle: sounds like it is "off" PERIOD! You may just do well as a "couple" with a "safer" form of Birth Control!!! BTW a Pregnancy test may be indicated (JUST to be sure!!) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Depends: Normal cycles are 21-32 days, counting from the first day of bleeding to the next first day of bleeding. If you counted from the first day of bleeding of the'late' period, and it fell within that range then it was on time. One in four normal couples get pregnant each cycle. Unprotected intercourse could lead to pregnancy but also a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Be smart, use condoms.
