I just found out that avoiding pregnancy via rhythm method is pretty
reliable and not even hard to do considering there are 250 apps to
help you do it.
HOWEVER, this app is asking me questions I don't know the answers to -
how do you tell where your cervix is? is cervical fluid different than
the regular goo that comes out of my vagina? how do I tell my
temperature?
Did the non- annoying period app ever get made? now that I understand
what it's for, I am interested in helping on this project. I'm using
ovuline mostly. I like the interface, although I am annoyed that ALL
PERIOD APPS (except two) assume (1) I am a woman, (2) I am trying to
GET pregnant instead of trying to AVOID getting pregnant.
Check out "MyGirls," it is a very amazing cultural artifact made by
two Russian physics graduate students in washington state. It assumes
users are men.

You should be able to feel your cervix by inserting a finger into the
vagina- to me, with my partners, it feels kind of like a hard rubber
stopper (firm, less rubbery/not siliconey like many dildoes) about one inch
long held in place at the rooftop (most inside part, closest to the head,
not the front, closest to the belly) of the vagina. The uterus is connected
to the vagina through a passageway in the cervix. (Cervix is Latin for
neck, and it kind of feels a bit like, and is about the same diameter as, a
chicken neck, for you non-vegetarians)
As your uterine lining sheds while you approach menses, you will experience
the cervix descending closer to the entrance of the vagina, and can roughly
measure the distance inside to determine where you are at. Count knuckles,
generally speaking- if you're not at least an index knuckles worth in, you
might not be in the right place. As with everything, this shouldn't be
painful.
When you are most fertile the cervix fluid is thin, and
is (potentially) different from other fluids in the vagina, and it is
thicker, more like mucus, other times. You can keep a log of
cervix distance and texture of fluids when you touch your cervix with the
tip of your finger.
If you monitor the above and restrict intercourse to the later portion of
your cycle, it should be a highly effective means of contraception. You can
also measure the cycle by inserting an ordinary thermometer into the vagina
and observing the cycle of temperature, which for some people is less
"icky" than the finger method.
Men who have sex with women can benefit from learning and logging as well.
If you generally perform cunnilingus as foreplay, using a finger to learn
her depth over time is an excellent way that you can play along, too. I use
a lunar calendar to track, which is not perfect, but is perhaps a little
more discreet.
Everyone can benefit from seeing a cervix live: Annie Sprinkle used to use
a speculum and a flashlight to show off hers.
If you are interested in what app my partner uses, please let me know and I
will ask.

ah! lower means closer to the ground. ok cool. So I will have to do
this for a few weeks to see how far in higher and lower are. Thanks.

oh my god, it's like i just read this the other day so that i could answer
this email:
*MCALC the first Gender Neutral Menstruation Calculator.*
Mcalc started off as an idea to create a menstruation calculator app that
could be used by anyone regardless of their gender, this way our app keeps
the trans* and genderqueer community in mind so they can enjoy the features
without being constantly misgendered (as with other apps).
