SO lets say i chart out the days that im ovulating. can i then just not have sex during those days as a form of birth control? or is this not effective?
NO NO NO! This is NOT an effective form of birth control, because you can ovulate at any point in your cycle. Usually it is at a certain time, but not always, and you don’t want to be stuck (unless you really aren’t trying not to get pregnant). I learned all about it when I was TRYING and charting my periods and ovulation. Your body will do what it wants. Much better to use something more reliable. Good luck!
you must be a professional to use this as a bc method….your body will ovulate when it wants….and to be safe youd have to go about 2 weeks without sex…..just go on bc

Some religions insist you only use the calendar method so it must work some of the time. However, you often see these families with many children so it doesn’t work all of the time…

If you want to use this method of birth control, there are quite a few things you need to learn to watch for so that you can actually tell when you are ovulating and when you are *about* to ovulate. It’s not as simple as assuming you ovulate 2 weeks after you start your period – it is different for different women b/c you may have a unique cycle that does not fit the ‘average’ cycle. If you’re really interested in it, check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" (should be available at a public library or of course you can buy it). There is also a great website http://www.fertilityfriend.com . You’ll be amazed at all the information they have on this method.
