A member asked:

Can you let me know how many days after or before your period can you have sex without getting pregnant?

Specializes in Psychiatry

Risky: Well - there are never guarantees that you won't become pregnant if you have unprotected sex. It would be risky for you to use counting days as your form of contraception.
