Answer
Ovulation occurs around day 16 - 18 after the period begins.  But this presupposes a very regular cycle pattern.  It can vary, so unless you are taking careful watch of the symptoms of fertility, you won't know for sure when ovulation occurs.  But after ovulation until the next period begins, she cannot get pregnant.

Expertise

Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.

Experience

I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
