Sex during period

How safe it is to have sex during period? How effective is the ovulation calender?

sex is physically safe during your period. (at least that is what sex educator sue johanson would say)
rambopeep is right, the calendar is a great guideline to follow but it doesn't know your body like you do. i noted the days on the chart and kept a close eye on egg white cervical mucous. turned out mine was earlier than the chart but my body said i was ovulating. : ) so listen to your body is my advice.
good luck.

Well that all depends on how long your cycles are. If you have short cycles such as 23 days or less..not a good idea because you ovulate almost immediately into your next cycle. (I.E. Day 1 is first day of period, and ovulation can begin as early as day 6.) Not forgetting that the sperm can live up to 3 days. So if you bed on day 3 into your period you may catch on day 6 if you ovulated. In terms of safeness.. don't know anyone who had any problems or issues. It is actually advised to start that early for some women in order to hit that early ovulation time.

The ovulation calendar is just a basic prediction of when it thinks your most likely to ovulate based on your usual cycle. I would only use it as a guideline and chart your BBT for accuracy since many things can alter your ovulation timing, such as stress, diet, illness and so forth.
