For a woman having a 28-day cycle:
Let
X = first day of menstruation
b]
X[/b] = rest of the days of menstruation (assumed 5 days total)
X = Ovulation!!!
Ovulation usually occurs mid cycle. More precisely,
ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the onset of bleeding.Not at day 14 of the menstrual cycle as is commonly believed. *rolls eyes*
However - ovulation can be upset and delayed by many factors; eg, sickness, alcohol, travel, stress etc
which is why simply counting the days can be inaccurate.Ergo, to answer the threadstarter's question: Physiologically and assuming you, well, know your own menstrual cycle (*rolls eyes*)? YES,
SEX the day before menstruation period IS safe.
PS. WE should hold like a, uhh, AM I PREGNANT or IS IT SAFE Support Group sessions in some inexpensively-rented business center. Somewhere.
