How much can you trust the rythem method. Thats where they say theres only around 5 days a women is fertile and can get pregnant. It's usually 15 days after your last period ends. Mine was from the 30th to the 4th. I was visiting my ex boyfriend at that exact time. Does anybody really know that the rythem method is real? Now were engaged and having a baby. Please someone tell me you can trust the rythem method!!

Absolutly not. many catholics use that method or used to, do you know any catholic families that don't have numourous children? that is pretty much the same as not useing any birth control.

No method of birth control is 100% but I think if you follow the rules to the rythem method and chart and everything like you are supposed to it could have a high effective rate. But you really need to be educated before trying this method. Also i don't really understand your question. Are your ex and your current fiance the same person? And in your case if you were using the rythem method correctly it didn't work if you are currently pregnant so I wouldn't try it again.

What? I don't quite understand your question. You're engaged and pregnant? Uh... then you obviously had sex sometime around your ovulation. You must remember that even though you ovulate around a certain time, sperm can live inside of you prior to ovulation as well. That means you can have sex a few days BEFORE you ovulate and still get pregnant....
Let me read this again.... are you saying you were temporarily separated from your fiance and had sex with an ex-boyfriend? If that's the case, you need a paternity test and you need to inform all parties involved sooner rather than later. I just don't understand the part about "we were broken up and only seeing each other when we think HE got me pregnant." If you weren't having sex, why would he think that HE got you pregnant? Hmmmmm.....

It is one of the less effective methods of birth control. Not every woman knows her body that well and sometimes you can ovulate more than once in a month.
You are totally wrong about the cycle though. Most women ovulate 12 to 14 days after their period begins, NOT when it ends.

It all depends on the length of your cycle. It's normally 14 days before your expected period when you ovulate. You can get pregnant from sex up to 5 days before hand and the day of ovulation. After ovulation it is too late. If you have a 28 to 30 day cycle then day 15 would be appropriate. Also remember the first day of your period is the first day of your cycle.

Every womans ovulation time is different. I went through a time in my life that I was going to the sperm bank. They have you test your ovulation before they do the procedure. So obviously it is a myth. As far as the engagement goes, you need to be talking to you fiance about this. You don't want to bring a baby into this world, have it excited about it and then find out it is not his. And it sounds like you are pretty sure the baby is your EX-BOYFRIEND'S not your fiance. you seriously need to have a chat.

Sperm can live in the cervix for up to 5 days prior to ovulation. You can ovulate as early as 10 and as late as 16. If you don't know if the baby is his or not you will have to do a test to find out for sure!

Well, the rhythm method is practiced by Catholic families and they usually have very large families! Actually it is only about 70% effective because each woman's ovulatory cycle can be so different and effected by so many different things. In the future, always use protection!

after TTC for 3 years and many many many book being read and countless number of doctors I have see there is one thing we all know for sure.. Women dont always ovulate on day 14 of the cycle!!!!
I think you need to grow up and tell the man that you "think" is the father that you were sleeping with other people. It;s only fair for the CHILD to know its TRUE father!

The rhythm method is not reliable. There are far too many factors involved to make it a responsible way of preventing pregnancy, especially for individuals who practice it only sporadically.

No, that method was debunked earlier this decade when scientists discovered that some women are sometimes fertile on different days.
