A member asked:
Are signs of ovulation predictable for contraception?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Signs of ovulation are not sufficient to provide contraception. The signs of ovulation, like cervical or vaginal fluid, or ovarian pain, are not always present when ovulation occurs. Sperm can last a long time in the cervix after ejaculation, so timing is not a good method of contraception.
