How does the ovulation calander work? My
friends say it works accurately, does it
really? But you have to have consistent
cycles for it to work, right?

The ovulation calendar works by looking at
a typical cycle, and telling you when
ovulation should occur in that typical
cycle. Well, that's all well and good for
people who have a typical cycle, but a lot
of women don't. Even if a woman gets her
period every 28 days like clockwork, that
still does not mean that she will ovulate
when she is "supposed" to.
That's why people who try to use this as a
method of birth control often end up with
an accidental pregnancy. Some people try
to avoid sex during their most fertile
time, but some women are actually the most
fertile during their period!
