Hello Everyone. I have a question. My boyfriend and I have been together for a while now and we have discussed not using condoms anymore. Even though I am on birth control I am always scared when he does it inside me. I am supposed to get my period next week and I heard that a week before your period is your most fertile time. Is that correct? If not can anyone tell me the days, so we can be extra careful and use condoms those days?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you take the pill correctly,don't miss any you should be protected no matter what day of your cycle you have sex.
And on the week-before-your-period-28-day-cycle-thread, those kinds of things are different for every woman. While the "average" cycle is 28 days, they can be anywhere from 21-40 days or more, and ovulation doesn't have to always fall in the middle. Typically ovulation is 12-14 days prior to a period (and that too is an average), but if for some reason a woman were to ovulate late...that would also move her period to later and she might find herself fertile when she wasn't expecting to be unless she was charting her fertility signs. So it's never safe to assume when ovulation is occurring without some sort of physical proof (temperature shift, mucous changes, cervical position changes, etc.)
And with all that being said, if you're not comfortable using the pill all by itself as adequate protection, you can keep using condoms all you want!
Good luck!
