I read your article and even though most are true you still have a myth posted. The 14 days BEFORE ovulation is inaccurate. That still on is in regards to a 28 days cycle. Ovulation takes places place typically during the middle of a cycle. So if someone has a 35 days cycle subtractin 14 in wrong. I have a 31 day cycle and I have had this consistency for 3 + yrs now and I ovulate every month on CD 16…that’s the exact middle day of my cycle 1-15 (16: ovulation:) 17-31….and I am one of the lucky ones who feel ovulation occuring. And I have not had any problems gettin pregnant. If I went by the whole 14 day rule I would have problems. So if some has a 35 day cycle they would most def ovulate on day 18 (1-17 19-35)…if they went by your article they would ultimately miss conception almost evey time.

Condoms don’t necessarily protect a teen from viral infections like herpes, either. The condom doesn’t cover the entire skin area (as you well know, and more and more teens are getting infected. The CDC cites that 1 in four sexually active teens gets an STD.
