Posted on Tue, 5 Aug 2014
Question: Hi,

I just want to ask, is having sex with my girlfriend on her 4-5th day of period (she started to have her period 4-5 days ago while NOT ejaculating inside her vagina safe? She's having her period regularly on a 32+ days cycle. She usually have her period for 6-7 days. Yes this means that the sex happens while she's having her period.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
It is almost safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Having sex on day 4 or 5 without a protection when your friend is having a regular cycle of 32 days is almost safe if you do not ejaculate inside her. The chances of pregnancy by precum at this time of the cycle is less than 0.5%.
Still it is better to use a protection like condom to be more safe.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi,

Thank you for your fast response. I would like to ask, on which day is it considered unsafe to have sex unprotected? Like, on a 32-35 day cycle, if she started having her period on the 14th (almost midnight to 15th) of July, when is it considered not safe?

Thank you.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
For a 32-35 day cycle the ovulation is likely to happen around 18-22nd day of the cycle. The unsafe period is from 29th July till 8th August.
Hope my answer is helpful.
