when is it safe?

[auntymandy]

what is the safetime not to concieve? Is it a week before and after your period?

Just spotted on the other thread that you already have 5 children! I can understand why you don't want anymore.... but can't understand why you would carry on playing russian roulette with your cycles!

I just wasnt sure of the number of days..if it was 10 or 7 thought someone could help me

I did want more and lost it in august.

But... the answer is there isn't a guaranteed safe time. But you don't seem to want to accept that.

No safe time. Ovulation can be very unpredictable. If you don't want to get pg, use contraception. My friend got pg the day her period ended.

Auntmandy - sorry you lost a baby.

Ditto Aloha!

Well if her period lasted more than a week them she would!
Its from the first day.
We do use contreception most of the time, but it is nice not to all the time. Or is that just me?

I have obviously mis understood. Good job its worked so far..goodness knows how many I would have!!!

Auntmandy - I have the coil fitted. I don't think about it anymore.

Er..... don't understand why you say that it's 7 days after the day your period start!

If you want to argue that a cycle is text book (28 day, ovulate half way through cycle) then you will ovulate between 12-16 days after the 1st day of your period!

I conceived dd 16 days after the 1st day of my last period....therefore day 16 of my (30 day) cycle.

yes.but you couldnt have concieved or it would be unlikely to concieve out side that time

day 9 or 18

Some information on natural family planning here . This suggests, by the way, that the time after your period that is considered "safe" is very short.

There are also a number of books that you can buy which will teach you to do things like chart your temperature to work out "safe" dates. None of it is foolproof though, and the chances of conceiving whilst using these techniques is far, far higher than the chances whilst using other forms of contraception.

Yeah Auntmandy, THAT particular month!! Who knows if I ovulate then on every month.... get it? There are no guarantees.

I know the day I conceived coz DH and I were not getting along and only had sex once in about 6wks!
I conceived ds on an entirely different day in my cycle!

What about day 9-18?

thanks wwb

so going by that 7 days before is about right and say 5 after. Thats what I thought just wanted it confirming.

Good luck winging it Auntmandy!
