CONTRACEPTION 101

The Basics – The Female A women is able to have children from the time she begins to menstruate (during puberty) to the onset of menopause (45-55 years old) A women has a menstrual cycle that determines her fertility Ovulation occurs on day 14 of the menstrual cycle. The egg that is released lives for hours. Pregnancy can only occur if her egg is met by a sperm in the fallopian tube, therefore during the three days before and after ovulation.

The Basics – The Male Men start producing sperm at the time of puberty. Once they begin to ejaculate, they are able to make babies. About 50 million sperm are released every time a man ejaculates Sperm can stay alive in a women’s uterus up to three days Men are able to father children almost until the end of their lives They do not have a cycle to regulate fertility like women do

Did you know? 25% of young women who have intercourse without using a method of birth control will become pregnant within one month 85% will become pregnant within one year

Safe Sex… The only totally safe sex is no sex. Pregnancy can only occur from vaginal sex (penis and vagina), however if sperm come in contact with the vulva (outside of the vagina) even without intercourse, there is a small chance of pregnancy. The second safest sex is between partners in a mutually monogamous relationship who consistently (that means EVERY TIME!) use protection against pregnancy and STIs.
