Pregnancy can only occur in a few days following ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). Ovulation usually takes place at some point between the woman’s periods.
Additionally sperm can survive inside the body for about 5 days while they wait for an egg to be released and the egg takes a few days to travel to the uterus so a woman has high chances of becoming pregnant if she has unprotected sexual intercourse 5 days before ovulation through 3 days after ovulation.
Unfortunately, women have no definite way of knowing exactly when they are ovulating and for a most women ovulation can vary from month to month. Many young girls have irregular periods. There is truly no “safe “day to have unprotected sexual intercourse and guarantee that a woman would not get pregnant.
There are plenty of women out there who have conceived when they thought they were “safe”. Therefore it is best not to assume that there are “safe” days if you don’t want to get pregnant.
