If you’re asking how to prevent pregnancy naturally, the first step is understanding your menstrual cycle. So let me ask you, is your cycle regular or irregular?

While there’s no 100% safe time to have unprotected sex, tracking your ovulation can help reduce your chances of pregnancy. Most women ovulate around the middle of their cycle, typically day 14 of a 28-day cycle and that’s when you’re most fertile.

To figure out how to prevent pregnancy, download period tracking apps like FLO or Clue. These apps help you identify your fertile window and estimate when you’re likely to ovulate. However, these apps are not foolproof and should not replace actual birth control methods.

If you’re serious about pregnancy prevention, combine tracking with condoms, birth control pills, or other reliable contraceptives. It’s always safer to double up with protection, especially if your cycle is irregular.
