Yes, you would need to use a condom or some sort of birth control during those 8 cycles because if you are going to use the calendar method it is important that the pattern of your menstrual cycle is established. If you have irregular periods for these next 8 months, then the calendar method is not for you. Once you have established that you definitely have a 28 day cycle, for example, then you can determine that you would be ovulating on around days 12-16 and those are the days that you will want to either abstain from sex or use a condom in order to avoid pregnancy. However, you must first log AT LEAST 8 months of your menstrual cycle.
