*PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO HAVE UNPROTECTED S*X ON VALENTINES DAY

If there’s one day that there would be high rate of unplanned pregnancy, it’s on Valentine’s Day. S*x on Valentine’s Day is overrated, people believe s*x is an important part of the celebration. Then, if s*x is part of Vals gift, consider a bouncing baby boy/girl around November, increase in abortion and s*xually transmitted diseases.
Therefore, it’s time to understand your menstrual cycle / ovulation period and the use of condom if you must have s*x and not expecting a baby by November...
Most grown up ladies do not understand this because of the scientific grammar used to describe it. Also, ladies don’t pay attention to changes in their body system.
MENSTRUAL PERIOD.
The last time you noticed blood flow out of your private part (va**na) when you have to use pad.
MENSTRUAL CYCLE
The days it takes to see another blood in the month. If you last saw your period on the 2nd January 2018 and started again on the 31st Jan, then you have a complete cycle of 30 days. (Start counting from 2nd Jan - 31st Jan).
NOTE!
Different ladies have cycles ranging between 21 and 35 days.

OVULATION PERIOD:
This is the best time to get pregnant without stress. Usually 2 weeks after your period or 2 weeks before your period. Below is a simple technique in calculating your ovulation (s*xually unsafe) period:
1. Pick up a calendar and a pen.
2. From the first day you see the blood of your period, count 14 days including the first day of your blood stain.
3. Mark the 14th day with a pen.
4. Mark 3 days before the 14th day and mark 3 days after the 14th day
5. You will notice you have marked 7 days. These 7 days are your OVULATION PERIOD. “fertile / unsafe days”
That is if you have s*x on these days you have 98% of being pregnant.
6. Ensure you diligently do this monthly.
EVERY OTHER DAY IS YOUR SAFE PERIOD TO ENJOY S*X WITH YOUR PARTNER WITHOUT CONDOM
For example:
1. If your period is on the 31st January 2018
2. 14 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on the 13th of February 2018.
3. 14th day is on the 13th of February
4. 3 days before the 14th day is 10, 11,12.
5. 3 days after the 14th day is 14,15,16
6. That means 10th -16th February (7 days) is when you are ovulating that is your fertile period
Be reminded that this 7 days is the period if s***m enters the female body, it tends to stay to fertilize the eggs. Don’t expect a generator set or television during this period after any s*xual in*******se. Expect something that can hear, speaks, breath……
If you have to have s*x on Valentine’s Day the 14th of February, and you don’t want a baby yet, use CONDOM if you are in your UNSAFE PERIOD.
Let’s together reduce the spread of s*xually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy during this season by being faithful to our partner.

ABSTINENCE IS THE KEY.
