There are several things women need to know about fertility. It is, however, interesting to note that most women do not know much about their bodies. As a woman, you can take advantage of the information all over the internet to realize your goals as far as sex education is concerned. Here are three things you never knew about your menstrual cycle;
1. Pregnancy occurs during 5-6 days of your cycle
Women need to know that they are not fertile all the time. A woman can only become pregnant in 5-6 days of her cycles. During these days, the cervix normally opens up, becomes soft and starts producing mucus. The mucus can be white and sticky in texture. The mucus production normally creates an ideal environment for reproduction. It not only nourishes the sperm but also gives them more energy.
2. The cervix and vagina kill the sperm when you have no mucus
Mucus is essential for fertilization to take place. The cervix and vagina will work together in order to kill the sperm in the event that there is no mucus. Lack of mucus means there is no necessary environment for reproduction to take place in your body
3. Women ovulate on one day in their menstrual cycle
There have been myths all over the internet that women have the capability to ovulate more than once per menstrual period, which is not the case. You can only release several eggs on that day but not menstruate on different days.
