Brief Answer:
Try OC for family planning

Detailed Answer:
hi
Thanks for the query
In a cycle of 30 days duration, the time of conception is from 12th to 18th day so one can use condom during this period to avoid pregnancy
However , the day of ovulation may vary in different cycles. by 2-3 days so choosing pills is much better You can start OC pills from 1st day of next cycle

I don't want to go for OC pills at starting of my married life so will condom work?

My wife periods started on Nov-22 so what are the chances of getting pregnant if we meeting during Dec-10 to 17 without condom.

Brief Answer:
It is a safe period

Detailed Answer:
hi
If you don't want to choose OC ,it is your wish. Condoms work very well with a failure rate of one in 1000 cases .
If your wife's cycle is 30 days, 10th Dec is 19th day of cycle. Generally it should be fine as we expect ovum to mature from 12th to 17th day in a 30 day cycle. So 19th day on wards should be a safe period
