A member asked:

Is it true that having sex few days before menstrual cycle reduces the chances of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Ovulation occurs 14 days prior to your mensis. Therefore stay away from unprotected sex around 3 d before and after this day. Be careful if you are not regular with your mensis bec the rule is then out hte door!
