What Is The Best Method To Avoid Pregnancy?

Hi. I've been dating this guy for five months now. We've made the decision to have sex. We use condoms, and his mom has offered to get me birth control. I was just wondering if there is anything else we can do or if there's a certain time of the month before, after, or in between my periods that would be the best to prevent pregnancy and still be able to have sex?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion there are safe and unsafe period during the menstrual cycle.This can be calculated in cases of regular cycles.Safe period is the one where there is no chance of pregnancy even with unprotected intercourse whereas during the unsafe period there is high risk for pregnancy.Safe period is one week before and after the periods.Birth control pills are effective of all birth control methods if they are taken regularly.Also practice safe sex with condom.
