How to calculate the time for safe sex
It's not so easy. In order to determine in what period of the menstrual cycle, it is impossible to get pregnant, you need to carry out its analysis for at least six months, but better - the year, not taking advantage of the hormonal contraceptives. Plant a special calendar, where there are all critical days. If the menstrual cycle is different regularity, it is impossible to accurately calculate the need to use other methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
If menstruation are held regularly with small deviations, the calculation is performed: select the shortest and longest menstrual cycles that were over the study period and short subtract the number 18 - get the first day of a dangerous period, for example, 24 - 18 = 6 (6 th day of the menstrual cycle). From the longest period subtracted 11: 28-11 = 17 (17th day of the menstrual cycle).
Conclusion: The risk of unwanted pregnancy is saved with the 6th to the 17th day of the menstrual cycle

Why do I sometimes become pregnant during menstruation
The egg remains viable for one day after the release of follicle, and sperm can remain active in the fallopian tubes of up to seven days. If favorable conditions occur oocyte with the sperm, the fertilization occurs, ie, pregnancy occurs. The main reasons for its occurrence during menstruation:
- Short menstrual cycles and prolonged menstrual period;
- Oocyte maturation earlier than usual;
- Spontaneous ovulation.
Girls with short cycle and long monthly output of the oocyte from the follicle takes place a few days after the removal of the upper layers of the mucous membrane of the uterus. In other cases, the egg can mature early. If the sexual act takes place on the fifth or sixth day, month, and active sperm stored in the female body to one week, pregnancy can occur a few days after sex.
Considered relatively safe only the first few days of menstruation. At this time, copious blood and a hostile environment in the vagina significantly reduce the activity of sperm.
Women who have irregular menstrual cycle or sometimes the length suddenly changes, you need to be especially careful if they do not want to get pregnant. But even if she has the perfect menstrual cycle of twenty-eight days, it does not mean that sex during menstruation can not lead to conception

It is believed that most of spontaneous ovulation occurs in young women because of the strong orgasm. This can also result in dramatic changes in hormonal levels. Normally, the body's ability for one cycle of girls play two oocyte inherited.
There are times when a woman finds that pregnant during menstruation, because then sex she did not have. But usually, the following occurs: fertilization occurs in the middle of the previous cycle, as it should be the norm. Because any hormonal disorders

menstruation begins prematurely, and the pregnancy is not interrupted and continues to develop further.
From all this we can conclude that during menstruation is still better to be protected and the most appropriate way - barrier (using a condom), which will protect a woman is not only an unwanted pregnancy, but do not give the possibility to get an infection in the open bleeding blood vessels to the uterus, It is also important.
