Hi doctor, My partner's menstrual cycle ends today, and she is willing to do intercourse tomorrow. Does this day come under a fertile period? What can I do to have protected sex? Do condoms provide safe protection?
Hi. If she has regular periods of 28 days and if she has bled for four days, then it does not come under fertile period. In 28 days cycle, a fertile period comes from day 8 to day 13. She can start taking oral contraceptive pills cyclically, and it gives proper contraception without any stress. On a safer side along with a condom, I-pill (Levonorgestrel) can be used in an appropriate dose within 48 to 72 hours of unprotected penetrative sex without vomiting.
