For an upcoming newsletter, I want to hear the most random "you can't get pregnant if ..." lines.

Growing up I heard "you can't get pregnant if you have sex the first day of your period."

What are the most absurd myths that you've heard about not getting pregnant? Share with me and you could be featured in the next birth control newsletter!

If you have sex right after you are done with your period; you drink Pennyroyal tea (there might actually be some truth to this one because I think it causes uterine contractions); if you pee right afterwards; if you douche right afterwards; if you are stressed; if the woman is on top; my personal favorite: if you have anal sex; if the man doesn't put "it" all the way in.

I could keep going....

The anal sex one is a myth I was going to concentrate a paragraph on! Because of the proximity of areas, it is entirely possible!

Thanks for your contribution, Brooklynn!

Hi SarahLiz,
How ironic, I saw your picture/post on Michele's page just a minute ago! And now I"ve seen you in the forum section and you happened to post this on my birthday! Life is full of ironies! Ok, this isn't a myth, but sometimes we need to keep this in the forefront of our minds (unless we WISH to conceive)

"you can't get pregnant if YOU DON'T HAVE SEX!!!"
Take care,'
Julie

You cant get pregnant if you have intercourse during periods. Plus its extremely Bad to do so in the first place.
