Withdrawal and Rhythm Methods

A friend went to a class for Teaching English as a Second Language and she told me that, during the class they teach you to think like the native speakers do. For example, teaching groups of people who grew up in poor, hot, desert areas, finding and preserving potable water would be very important to them and their society. They might now even know what 'snow' is or "Christmas" songs.

There is a website that you can go to find out more info:

On sunny days with clear skies, there's nothing to prevent any moisture at the surface of the earth from being evaporated quickly and easily into the open air.

This is why, in summers, when temperatures are very high, your perspiration evaporates so quickly that you hardly know you're sweating (but of course, you are, which is what helps you feel cooler in spite of all that heat).

This all changes during our monsoon season>>

In monsoons, the temperature is still fairly high, but the water which

is evaporating from the surface can't dissipate into open air. Rather it collects in the air beneath the clouds and gathers in the clouds, as well. This makes for very humid air, but not as humid as when it finally rains.

Before it rains, the temperature is still high enough to promote some evaporation. Once it rains, the temperature drops considerably. Combine the low temperature with the huge amount of water on the surface and in the air, and you have almost no evaporation, and the humidity is as

close as it can get to 100%.

Since the temperature has dropped, you may still feel that it is cooler, but it will be very easy to perspire, and very hard for that perspiration to evaporate. And that's why we feel uncomfortable!!

The chances of a woman conceiving after using the pull out method are around 4% if done correctly. If done incorrectly and the man does not pull out before he starts to ejaculate (cum), then that risk is significantly higher. Pre-ejaculate ("Pre-cum") contains a very small amount of sperm, and is unlikely to be dangerous, especially if the man has urinated since the last time he had an ejaculation. Planned Parenthood has all the details you need to decrease your chances of getting pregnant through using the pull out method. To decrease your chance of pregnancy it is highly recommended that an additional form of birth control be used, such as the pill, as well as the man being experienced enough to know when he is going to ejaculate, and have enough control to be able to pull out.

I would highly recommend visiting the link below to better inform yourself on the topic so you may be better prepared for the responsibility that comes with having protected sex.

This question has been answered several times....

During your period is the safest. Next safest is no more than 5 days after the end of your period with each day past the end of your period being more risky than the next.

I don't advocate timing the "before" days of your period without the use of some physical indicator. The "before" days are very error prone because the exact onset of your period varies from month to month. If your period is late and you use the "before" method you may be having sex during your fertile time!

Don't take chances because you are never "kind of" pregnant. It is always, "Yes I am." or "No I'm not."

Hi,

There is no safe time unfortunately. That is simply a myth. The only way to avoid pregnancy is by using protection EVERY TIME.

Answer

Actually, both of these answers are slightly incorrect. During your period is not the "safest" time to have intercourse. If you have very short cycles, long periods, or if you are experiencing annovulatory "spotting" (which is not a true period), you could conceive a child from intercourse during your "period"*. The surest way to know the "safest" time to have intercourse is by charting your waking temperatures with a Basal Body Temperature Thermometer and keeping track of the quality of your cervical fluid. This is called the "sympto-thermal method" of Natural Family Planning, or the Fertility Awareness Method ("FAM"). Both your waking temperature and the quality of your cervical fluid change with the influx of certain hormones. This gives you the ability of knowing when you will likely ovulate and when you have ovulated. Because you cannot conceive a child after you have ovulated, the "safest" time to have intercourse is at least four days after the calculated ovulation date and before the onset of a new cycle (during the "luteal phase" of your cycle, which stays constant in duration). Keep in mind that it takes diligence in learning the method for this calculation to be effective, but, when practiced correctly, the method has a failure rate of approximately 2% per year, which is the same as the failure rate for condoms. This failure rate is even smaller if you abstain for longer periods of time and only have intercourse on the "safest" of days (in the middle of the luteal phase). For more information and verification of these statistics, see Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

*Note: there is a difference between conceiving during your period and conceiving from intercourse during your period. The first is not possible, but the second IS possible (since sperm could survive until ovulation).
