A member asked:

When is it safer to have sex week after period finish orweek after ovulation and avoud pregnancy ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

trouble is...: It's often surprising when period ends and when ovulation begins... To the point that it's not a reliable method of contraception. You can guess right a lot, but you will be fooled a few times. And with very high consequences!
