Indeed, we use condoms for the danger days. We have a window of four days before and after supposed ovulation. I wonder if this is enough. Do you use any other kind of tracking like temperature monitoring ? I'd love to read any resources.

I know this isn't the best contraception but I live in a country where I have access to abortion and "tomorrow" pills.

You can get an ovulation test kit if you want to go crazy with it[0]. She can know exactly when she ovulates and you can expand/shrink your window as you feel comfortable. Pair that with a condom and pull-out and there's virtually no risk of pregnancy.

Thanks, I didn't know those existed, it's great...

Actually do you rememeber the twitter thread when someone took apart one of those test (a pregnancy test, I assume they're alike) and then you realised it's basically a small camera doing the work of your eyes on a very cheap paper test ? https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301707401024827392

I don't want to use one or two tests like that a month, it would be too much waste. Good news is I suppose is I should be able to get my hand on a paper tests.
