The normal cycle is 28 days long. Day one is the first day the period starts. The period can last from 2 to 8 days but normally somewhere in between. 14 days after the first day, ovulation occurs and the new egg is produced. If this egg is not fertilised then the body discards it and begins producing a new one. It sheds the unfertilised egg by having the period. This is day one of the next cycle. The only safe time is, after the period starts until day 11 of the cycle. You must be careful though because if you have unprotected sex at any time after day 11 of the cycle the sperm can linger inside and meet the egg and fertilise it after ovulation. Also, if the cycle is a shorter one say 26 days, then ovulation takes place on day 13 of the cycle. Hope this helps.
