For women the safe period connotes different things.For some it is the time to debate whether to do or not to do,so as to avoid pregnancy.For others its the period when you do it till morning so as to get pregnant.For others still the safe period is simply when you donot make love. The medical doctor says there are other ways of calculating one,s safe period.One way is by using body temperature,though this is cumbersome.Another method of calculation one,s safe period is by using the the pap method or billing method.When a woman,s discharge is like egg-white mucus,it means she is very fertile and that is her ovulation period.When the discharge is pure pap she is not fertile.The egg white mucus is slippery to the touch and will stretch longer than the pap when held between the fingers.The pap breaks up when held between the fingers.This method is very reliable in determining ovulation.DR JERRY.
