Rhythm Method of Birth Control

Actually, I am not yet married and I am not an expert on sex, sexuality and Birth Control. But I need to tackle this subject because someone emailed me asking me to discuss Rhythm Method of Birth Control on this blog.

What is Rhythm Method?

Unlike other ways of controlling birth, rhythm method doesn’t use any artificial devices. It is actually considered as the Natural Way of birth control in which the couple withhold sex during unsafe days.

The term unsafe days refers to the days which are assumed as the fertile period of the female based on her ovulation period.
How to determine ovulation period?

It is not actually accurate to predict ovulation. But commonly for a 28 menstrual cycle, on the 14th day from the first day of menstruation, the ovulation occur. However just to be safe, we will assume that the ovulation days will occur on the 14th to 18th day from the first day of menstruation.

But then we all know that the sperm cells of male live up to three days while the egg cell of female live up to two days. So, we should add three days before and two days after the expected dates of ovulation to determine the fertile period. In other words, couple should avoid sexual intercourse during the 11th up to 20th day from the first day or menstruation.

But I just want to remind you that this method is not really effective way of controlling birth. I suggest, you better use the artificial way of family planning.

    is it actuall true that spearm will alive 3days! in a female genital tract!?
    or if a woman have less than 28 or more than 28 days mens cycle,what will be the calculation?

  2. SELaplana says:

    yes! sperm lives up to 3 days. Basically, a woman is safe to pregnancy a week before the first menstrual day and a week after the first menstrual day. Or 7 days before menstruation and 7 days after the first day of menstruation. All in all, you have 14 days to have sex safely.

  3. i usually stick to natural birth control methods because i am a christian, natural birth control has no side effects too.’-’
