Rogue Sperm

Swim, swim, swim,

freestyle

butterfly stroke

breast stroke

backstroke

followed by

dog paddle.....

Then, opps, got pregnant!

Har? swimming can make girls pregnant?

It may sound ridiculous but,

Yes, it is in today's (13/07/09) newpaper.

A 13 years old teenage girl got pregnant miraculously after using the pool in an Egyptian hotel.

Since the Polish mother claimed that her daughter did not meet any boys while she was in Egypt, neither the daughter has a boyfriend, so, it is believed that, there was some rogue sperm straying in the swimming pool and randomly had a date with the Ovum inside the girl's body.

The Polish woman then filed a lawsuit against an Egyptian hotel. The hotel was not named.

Erm... so

Knowing that sperm can survive for 72 hours or more, depending on the internal and external factors like sperm health, temperature, PH, and etc, guys! Please be more responsible of your own "property", please don't simply ejaculate in public places like swimming pool, water park, hot spring (hot temperature can kill sperm though) and so on.

For girls, for safety purpose, please do not go swim during your fertile period!

How to know when is your fertile period?

Easy, use Fertility Awareness Method (FAM),

FAM is a collection of practices that helps a woman know which days of the month she is most likely to get pregnant.

First method: Calender charting

1. keep your record of your menstrual cycle for 8 - 12 consecutive months. (Count first day of menstruation as day 1 and so on)

2. Then, pick your longest and shortest cycle.

3. Subtract 18 from your shortest length of menstrual cycle and subtract 11 from your longest length of menstrual cycle.

For example: if your shortest cycle is 26 days and your longest cycle is 31 days

26 - 18 = 8

31 - 11 = 20

So your first unsafe day starts from day 8 and ends at day 20.

In other words, day 8 - 20 is your fertile period!

Second method: Cervical Mucus Method

Kindly refer to the diagram below, bascially you just need to keep record (like the previous method) of your dry days and wet days, wet days are most likely your fertile period. =)

The wet substance is known as cervical mucus. It helps to draw sperm up to fallopian tubes and maintain the survival of sperm inside the woman's body.

For more info, kindly google "Fertility Awareness Method",

you can surely find a bundle of information on it.

However, if you still don't get it or you want to save troubles,

kindly consult your trusted gynecologist.

Take it seriously, I bet nobody hopes to have a child which you yourself do not know who the father is.

What I worried the most now is that, if this problem gets worse, girls might need to wear diaphragm next time when swimming...

scary...

Guys be more responsible, don't ruin a girl's life. =)
