Why do fertility awareness methods of contraception have such high failure rates?
What will be an ideal response?
One reason for their higher failure rate is that trying to determine when a woman is fertile depends on many factors. Usually, a woman is only fertile for about 1 day every month after an egg is released during ovulation. Sperm, however, can survive for 3 to 7 days in a woman's reproductive tract. The idea of fertility awareness methods is to learn when a woman ovulates and then to agree to abstain from intercourse for 7 days prior to and 1 day after ovulation to reduce the risk of pregnancy. Logically, this makes sense. The problem, however, is that knowing when a woman will ovulate is a complicated learning process that involves self-discipline, time, organization, and a willingness to become intimately familiar with one's body and bodily fluids.
