    Seriously? That is crazy. I knew there were all kinds of crazy superstitions around menstruation historically but less than a century ago? Sigh.

    In high school (equivalent to junior high in the States), I once told my boyfriend that I had my period to which he replied, 'didn't you have it yesterday? Do you have one every day?'.

        Re: The Menstrual Cycle

        The menstrual cycle truly is a fascinating subject, and I think one of our biggest problems is though we half-ass teach a woman about her body (depending on where you are, I have met girls who think you can get pregnant from kissing) we really don't teach guys anything about it. I think we'd have WAY less unplanned pregnancies if we just educated people on the female body and how it works.

          Honestly Jem, download this book onto Kobo or kindle on your phone. It was under 20 bucks im sure and it has ALL the questions.

          On cervical mucus, simply put the cervix produces mucus, the mucus changes depending on your fertility and when you have watched it for a while you will know your pattern. You can't get pregnant when the mucus is tacky and thick because sperm can't swim through it and it's pH isn't right. It becomes thinner and waterier as you get closer to ovulation and the sperm is able to swim through it.

            It may gross some people out (there are pics of bodily fluids). But here's what to look for: http://www.babycenter.com/101_what-c...le_10351429.bc

            Iit just inhibits motility. But...considering sperm can live as long as 5 days in the lady bits, it's a bad idea to actually use that as an indicator. I've seen more people knocked up trying to prevent pregnancy with NFP than people getting pregnant trying to use it.

                That websites helpful thanks Thal. I learnt about NFP about a year ago and I do keep an eye on my CM but wasn't sure I had it right. That confirms it for me.

                I'm really bad at tracking my cycle, and haven't worked out my basic infertile pattern etc yet. I tried for a month to do body temperature and CM and it seems I didnt ovulate that month lol. I can see how people would get pregnant from this all the time. Some how not me though haha.

                  Re: The Menstrual Cycle

                  Does anyone know if the progesterone only pill is as bad as the combined pill? I mentioned that I'm giving it a try because I'm oestrogen dominant so the combined pill is no good for me. When I've tried to Google it, everything that is anti-contraceptive pill talks about the negative effects of oestrogen. Yet when they mention alternatives they don't list the progesterone only (or mini) pill. It may be because it's not as effective, but there's actually a new one out that I've been given that claims to be just as effective as the combined pill, and you get a 12 hour window instead of just a 3 hour window in which to take it. The failure to mention the progesterone only pill as an alternative makes me wonder if it's just as bad? Not that it will stop me from taking it. I'll give it a few months before I decide if it's worth continuing with it, but I want to make an informed decision.

                    No idea Jem, only ever done the other one. I think in this case you just gotta wait and see.

                        Get the sticks you pee on--ovulation test kits. Use them for the next few cycles to chart when you start, so you have an personalized idea that corresponds with your CM and cycle. Individual cycles tend to vary quite a bit.

                          Yeah but they're expensive and if you're not close to ovulation they don't work do they? I've tried to use BBT as well as CM but I had no spike at all that month 😑

                                Hmm.. don't you have any equivalent to amazon? The strips I have are called 'One Step', so maybe goole the 'One Step test strips' and see if anything comes up? They're made in China (and EU approved for those of us making the most of membership while it lasts ^^) so they might distribute to Australia. But yeah, if you're being forced to pay those mental prices I can see how it can get expensive.

                                Update.. was curious and started reading the reviews and questions on Amazon. Someone said their peak day was actually right after their period!! Someone was complaining that the strip doesn't change for them (it is 99% accurate so this shouldn't happen unless they're not ovulating properly). The person who replied therefore suggested testing even while you're bleeding because they might be missing the peak.

                                Thought this might be useful to know if you're not getting a positive result.
