"that is all the pill. it makes your body think you're pregnant so you don't ovulate. it's funny because you don't even need to take it!" "what do you mean?" "well, i can tell you what you need to know." "you mean how to get by without anything?" "yes." "well, tell me." "the day you have your period is always always two weeks after you ovulate. so you can figure out exactly how your cycle is based on that. now that you know when you ovulate, you know when you can have sex without using anything." "how?" "when you ovulate, your body releases an egg. once the egg is released, it has to be fertilized within a short amount of time - say, 24 to 48 hours. after that, there is nothing to fertilize. so you can have sex 24 to 48 hours after you ovulate and not get pregnant. "sperm can live up to seven days, so if you have sex before your ovulation, you are basically asking for one to meet up with another when the egg is released."
