Opened the calendar and said nothing would happen

using the calendar method for contraception is pretty risky; my sister thought that way years ago and ended up holding my niece. so it's not an urban legend or anything, I think you should take it seriously.

How many years have you been using this app? Does it give you accurate results, in your opinion?

@pazardandondum honestly, I haven't seen that app, but he spoke about it as if he was a hundred percent sure. Apparently, he has been using it for about 3-4 months.

@camkenari that's fine, but everyone's body cycle is different; is it really right to give such extreme examples for every user now? 🫠

I laughed when I read the title, but the subject turned out to be just as I guessed. How "safe" is the green day they mention? I don't understand how one can relax without questioning that.

The calendar method is not a reliable contraception method on its own, as the menstrual cycle can be affected by many factors. If you have doubts, you can buy the morning-after pill from a pharmacy shortly after, or consult a healthcare professional to be sure.

@uykuarasi it's not extreme, unprotected sex is risky in any situation. This is all based on probability, and someone might come along and have a surprise. We shouldn't overdo it, but we shouldn't act carelessly either 🤦‍♀️

it's not a city myth, there's really no guarantee it won't happen 🫢

Honestly, the way he talks so casually made me uneasy. It feels like he's sending mixed signals with that approach 🙂

If anyone finds the idea of protection romantic, they should throw romance straight into the trash. It’s not about the moon, the day, feelings, or energy; it’s about protection, and if necessary, the pharmacy/doctor line will be in action.

@hatconene exactly, days like that are just a story. I only check the calendar for payday; everything else is a lie 🙂

@meric what does this have to do with anything right now? Try not to mix salary day with protection in the same sentence. Just because you agree doesn't mean you can lump everything together.

I find myself wanting to ask someone who feels comfortable with the calendar method if they've ever considered how factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, and irregular sleep can affect their cycle. Where does such a strong sense of certainty come from? It's intriguing.

The comfort of the calendar method is actually quite a luxury, even for someone with a completely regular cycle. It's not hard to understand that even those small hormonal fluctuations can shift ovulation. It's a bit superficial for the guy to say "nothing will happen"; why is he so sure, for example?
