Conversely, it&#8217;s also helpful when preventing it. <\/strong>If you wish to use it as a birth control method, then\nit&#8217;ll require several months before you can determine your fertility windows\naccurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>How to do it<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You first need to record which day your menstrual\nperiod starts, and count how many days it lasts. Day 1 should be the first day\nyou experience full flow. You want to do this for several months; a whole year\nis best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You then want to annotate both the shortest and\nlongest amount of days you got from on your monthly tracking.<a href=\"#_ftn5\"><strong>[5]<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the shortest cycle and subtract 18 days from its\nlength and write down the resulting number. Now, go to your longest cycle and\nsubtract 11 from its length and write down the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fertile window should be the period between both\nresults. <strong>For instance, if your shortest cycle was 28 days and the longest\nwas 30, then your fertile window is from day 10 to day 19.<\/strong> <strong>These days, you\nwant to avoid <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/the-top-health-benefits-of-sex\/\"><strong>having sex<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tools you can use to track your menstrual\ncycle as well.

This temperature increases a bit during ovulation, and tracking\nit requires a special thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method is basically tracking your temperature\nright after waking up before you get up. You then write it down and repeat the\nprocess every day. There are apps for this as well. If you notice a slight\nrising in temperature (under 0.5\u00b0C), then you&#8217;re ovulating.<a href=\"#_ftn8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method works better if you wait to have sex after\nyour temperature has gone up and down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cervical mucus<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some women experience increased amounts of cervical\nmucus when they&#8217;re about to ovulate. It&#8217;s thanks to an increase in estrogen\nlevels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cervical mucus during ovulation is clear and thin; you\ncould compare its consistency to egg whites. If you notice an increase in\ncervical mucus around your fertile window, then you can be assured you&#8217;re\nfertile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Predicting kits<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also special ovulation predictor kits that\nyou can use to test urine and check for increases in LH (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK539692\/\">luteinizing hormone<\/a>) levels.<a href=\"#_ftn9\">[9]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hormone surges around a day or two before\novulation begins. Therefore, you want to avoid having unprotected intercourse\nduring \u2013 and a while after \u2013 this hormonal spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The problem with using predicting kits for birth control is that sperm can live for several days inside the uterus. If you have unprotected sex and record an LH surge a day or two afterward, then you&#8217;re at risk of getting pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/contraception-methods-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/contraception-methods.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/contraception-methods-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gaintrial.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/contraception-methods-768x525.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_effective_contraception_methods\"><\/span>Most effective contraception methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The menstrual cycle can change quite a lot, so using\nit as your sole contraception method can be dangerous if you don&#8217;t want to risk\npregnancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most effective contraception methods are usually\nhormone treatments, which tend to offer over 99% effectiveness when used\ncorrectly.
