PSY101-PSYCHO!

Apparently, this is the second time my PSY101 Professor gave me a "special assignment". WOW! In the first place, I thought PSY101 was supposed to be on behavioral studies of human beings and not entirely BIOLOGY base. At first, I had to talk about the human brain. It was kinda exciting though to share the things I know about the human brain, which I just learned in my House MD marathons. Hahahaha :))

When they talked about the Hormones, I decided to ditch my class because I was seriously damn sick during that time. Anyway, I'm not really an expert on hormones so I guess it was a good thing I wasn't there :D

And the second reporting was about PILLS, a.k.a. BIRTH CONTROL PILLS! When my Prof told me that the next meeting, I'll be talking about PILLS, I was seriously dumbfounded! HELLO!? Murag naga-promote ko ug safe pre-marital sex among my classmates! Waaaaa. Anyway, thanks to some person out there, you know who you are *wink wink* hahahha, I had a hinch of what I was going to present. Also, my Prof asked me to bring a picture of the male reproductive system because she lost hers :|

But I won't talk about pills, instead I'm gonna share something that I've discovered. It's called the Cervical Mucus Method, they say it is more effective than the Calendar Method because you don't have to have a regular menstruation period for you to employ this, but you just have to check your cervical mucus everyday, and below are the interpretation:

Dry or Slightly Moist – At this time you are most likely Infertile. This time will start after menses has ended until approximately 4 days later. You will have a dry feeling.
Sticky – At this time you are most likely Infertile. At this time your CM may be sticky for approximately 3 days. It may feel gummy, sticky or crumble when you rub it between your fingers. You will still have a dry feeling.
Creamy – At this time you are most likely Fertile. You may notice a creamy, milky, lotiony, whitish or slightly yellow abundant amount of CM. You will have a wet sensation.
Egg White – At this time you are most likely Very Fertile. This is the most fertile time of the month for women. It usually lasts about 2 days but can be anywhere from 1 to 5 days. This Cervical Mucus will look similar to raw egg whites. It will be slippery and clear or opalescent. It will generally stretch anywhere from 1 to 10 inches. You will feel very wet. It is sometimes easy to mix up egg white CM with seminal fluid or with arousal fluid. To determine, the egg white CM will not dissolve if you place it in a cup of water while seminal fluid or arousal fluid will. The egg white CM will usually form a ball and sink to the bottom. Also, the egg white CM does not dry up quickly whereas the seminal fluid or arousal fluid will dry up quickly when rubbed between your fingers.
Dry, Slightly Moist, or Sticky – At this time you are most likely Infertile. Because of the quick change in hormones after ovulation, you will quickly go from having the egg white CM and wet feeling to being rather dry, slightly moist or sticky.

So girls (and probably, you should tell your boyfriend about this one too), if you are sexually active and you don't want to engage in early parenthood, read and memorize this BY HEART! hahaha :)) But of course, as an HIV Advocate, I would highly recommend that abstinence is the best way to avoid sexually transmitted infections :)
