writes:i'm not currently sexually active, and i saw something somewhere about what time during the cycle or whatever. so what time during the cycle is the best time to have sex ? even with protection, and what if you took birth control, would you do it during the week where you're getting rid of your period ? i know i'm young, and i'm not asking for lectures because i'm not ready to have sex. i just want to know ahead of time before i actually get into it.

Also if you are on the pill, the cycle method becomes obsolete because you no longer HAVE a cycle exactly. Your best bet is a condom, with a reliable backup, like the pill (or any hormonal contraceptive) or an IUD. Remember, only a condom can protect you from STDs, which are much more common than many teens know. You can even take the birth control one step further by having the guy pull out before he ejaculates.As for your specific question, the rhythm method is actually very complicated and even with all the equipment, planning, and thought, is fairly unreliable and requires the help of a professional. There is a lot of information available about birth control and having sex on the planned parenthood website: http://www.plannedparenthood.orgIt is good you are asking questions instead of just assuming, going for it uneducated! If you have questions after looking at the website I would really encourage you to call planned parenthood. They are free, confidential and extremely helpful as well as being realistic.

Hi, thank you for asking your question here, as a long time aunt on this site, I must advise you to stop right here and do not take any advice you get on sex and having sex. There are a lot of uneducated preteens on this site who will give you wrong information, there are people who have strong opinions on having sex and even some unhealthy people exist here on this site.
I am glad that people have a site like this that they can ask their love questions and have a chance to air their pain and that is what this site is mostly for to help people through a tough time and a crisis, often which they are in because of poor choices that they made in life and sometimes through no fault of their own.
To try and help you not become a "statistic" and become a pressured teen thinking they need to have sex, or a child having a child, I would really like to urge you and encourage you to talk to your parents about your questions.
Help them through it by printing the above article and giving it to them, it will help them prepare themselves for a very good discussion about sex and everything you need to know about it. These are the people who love and care about you the most and know you the best so open up a dialogue with them, not here where you can get mislead and misinformed.
