Calendar method procedure

Answer 1

You first have to understand the menstrual cycle as it applies to your individual circumstances before you can use the "calendar method," and you have to have consistency in the occurrence of each menstrual flow, which is considered Day 1 of the usual 28-day cycle (Note: A woman's menstrual cycle can and occasionally does vary).

Depending on whether or not you want to become pregnant, you also must know when ovulation occurs, typically around 14 days after the start of your period, and that both sperm and ova only have a limited lifetime after entering the female body and ovulation, respectively.

The key to the "calendar method" is knowing how the menstrual cycle works and having consistency in its occurrence. Track your menstrual cycle for a period of several months..and avoid unprotected sex like the plague during this time!! The longer you track your cycle, the better understanding you will have of it in the long run..and the knowledge gained may turn out to be a life saver in the future in the event that a major problem (i.e., cancer) rears its ugly head.

Hope this helps..

Answer 2

This is also known as the rhythm method. The idea behind this method is to work out on what days you ovulate. However Generally speaking a woman ovulates in the middle of her menstrual cycle. For example If a woman has a 28 day menstrual cycle she ovulates on the 14 th day after the first day of her menstruation (periods). If you take into account that the mans sperm can stay alive within a woman after being ejaculated for about 4 days That would mean you are at risk of becoming pregnant if you have sex on the 10 th day after the first day of your periods. When you ovulate on day 14 the ovum wil stay viable for about 2 days before breaking up. this means that you will definitely be likely to become pregnant on day 10 through to amd including day 16. If the ovum is not fertilized by sperm it wil break up and hormones wil be activated that will bring on your next period. If you are considering this method for avoiding pregnancy I would avoid sex between days 8 and 18 to be on the safe side. If your menstrual cycle is regular you are also taking extra risk by not using a condom.
