• Starts at puberty age until death. It means that the male body is now producing “sperm” and he has

now the capacity to get a woman pregnant.• The "sperm” is the male contribution in pregnancy. The life span of the sperm is 3-5 days inside the woman's body. • The man is fertile everyday of his life until his death.

Female Fertility

• Starts at the first on set of menstruation.This means that she is beginning to have one egg cell ripen

and she is ready to get pregnant.• The egg cell is the female contribution in pregnancy.• The woman is fertile only during “ovulation”.• Ovulation happens only once during the “Ovulatory Phase” of

the menstrual cycle.• Female fertility will end up to ”menopause” stage.


• It will start on the first day of menstruation and end up on the last day before the start of the next menstruation.

• There are 4 menstrual phases:

The MENSTRUAL CYCLE

MENSTRUATION PRE-OVULATORY OVULATORY POST-OVULATORY

Menstrual Phase

MENSTRUAL PHASE Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program

• Starts on the first day of menstruation.• Menstrual bleeding is the result of the shedding off

of the uterine lining. This means that the woman is not pregnant.

• Menstruation usually happens 4-6 days.

• Menstruation is a normal condition of a woman's body and does not mean that she is sick or has sickness.

Pre-Ovulatory Phase


• Menstruation had stopped or ceased already.

• Egg cell starts to develop .• The uterine lining is beginning

to thicken.• There is a mucus plug at the

cervix.• The woman is experiencing feelings of dryness and

no mucus is seen.• Pre- Ovulatory phase is known to be relatively

infertile days.

Ovulatory Phase


• Cervix is now open.• Wet is the feeling experienced

by the woman.• Mucus are watery, slippery,

clear and stretchy are seen and felt.(fertile mucus)

• Mucus nourishes sperms and filters abnormal sperms , too.

• Uterine lining continue to thicken• One matured egg is released from the ovary and

stays at the fallopian tube for about 24 hrs.• The life span of the egg cell is 24 hours only.

Post-Ovulatory Phase


• If there is no meeting of the sperm and egg cell, the egg cell disintegrate and is reabsorbed by the body.

• The cervix is closed again• The woman feels dryness and no

mucus is seen.

• Post-ovulatory phase is known to be absolutely infertile days .

• The uterine lining thickens again.• Because the woman is not pregnant, she will again

experience menstruation.
