Contraception With Condoms and the Ovulation Calendar
One of the most popular contraceptive devices is the condom. This collects the man’s sperm before, during and after ejaculation. The condom prevents sperm from entering the woman’s vagina. They are made of latex or silicone, lubricated or dry. This is also one of the main protections against sexually transmitted diseases. When using a condom, it is also recommended to use another type of birth control method, as it is not 100% guaranteed that a condom will prevent pregnancy. If used in combination with an ovulation calendar, the risks are much more significantly reduced.
A condom is worn over an erect penis during intercourse and is available in many different colors. Men say they maintain an erection longer by using a condom, and the fear of an unwanted pregnancy has a definite effect on enjoyment for both partners. Others say the opposite, they don’t feel the same with a condom on, but the lubricated ones will help with the friction that causes problems. You have to plan ahead when using condoms, have them ready for the moment, and some complain that this takes away from their spontaneity.
Some family planning centers will provide condoms for free, or they are also available at pharmacies. Some of them will encourage the use of the ovulation calendar to track ovulation as a safe natural alternative to birth control.
Be careful with condoms and don’t store them past the expiration date, as they won’t last forever. In addition to coming in different colors, they will also come in different sizes, thickness, width, and length, so a man should try each one until he finds one that fits him perfectly. When removing the condom after ejaculating, the man must be very careful that none of his semen comes into contact with the vagina. The condom must be put on before the penis enters the vagina. Having condoms with spermicide provides additional protection against pregnancy, since the agent destroys sperm. Putting on two condoms also provides additional protection. Perhaps the female partner would like to add to this protection by tracking ovulation with the use of an ovulation calendar. These are easily obtained online and are often free.
A woman ovulates once a month, so she should prepare for ovulation by keeping track of her menstrual flow. Ovulation is when a woman’s egg is passing through and will become impregnated or continue to come out with the flow of blood known as her period. The first day she starts bleeding, that’s the first day, then record the day of the first day of the next month. The intermediate time is the duration of the cycle of it. Normally these cycles last about 28 days. Ovulation can take place during the days between day 11 and day 21. This can be determined by her ovulation calendar.
There are ovulation kits available at your local pharmacy, and they will tell you your ovulation calendar, by your body temperature, and the day you are most fertile is when you are hottest. During ovulation, the egg will live for only 12 to 24 hours, and sometimes there will be a slight spotting of blood during ovulation.
