Figuring out the safest time of the month is a complicated process. In order to do so accurately, a person needs to learn a birth control method called Natural Family Planning. This method involves taking and recording a daily temperature, checking and understanding changes in the cervical mucous and counting the days in the menstrual cycle. Any one of these methods are not accurate on their own. However, when used together a person can have a fairly accurate picture as to when ovulation takes place.

Because predicting the safest time of the month is very difficult, we recommend using a reliable method of birth control whenever sexual intercourse takes place.
