Do you provide birth control?
Nope. However, we do offer education on how your reproductive cycle works. Understanding the length and duration of a normal menstrual pattern—and how lifestyle factors can influence it—can empower you to make healthier choices. For many women, learning to track and understand their cycle can be a safer and healthier alternative to birth control, both physically and mentally.
Can I get pregnant on my period?
- First of all, you must be ovulating to get pregnant! If you’re not ovulating, you can’t get pregnant.
- Women with shorter menstruation cycles (less than 24 days) may ovulate earlier, which puts them in their fertile window almost immediately after their period.
- Women with longer cycles will find it more difficult to accurately track their ovulation.
- Sperm can live inside the female reproductive system for up to 5 days, so having sex around your period can still lead to pregnancy if ovulation occurs soon after.
Is it safe to have sex multiple times a day?
Physically, yes—having sex more than once a day is usually safe. But there are some things to keep in mind:
- Pregnancy risk: The more frequently you have sex, the greater the chance of unexpected pregnancy.
- STI risk: Multiple partners—or even one partner in a non-monogamous relationship—increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections.
- Safe sex limits: Even with condoms or other methods, no protection eliminates all risks. Repeated exposure, even to treatable infections, can negatively impact both reproductive and mental health.
That’s why the safest and most fulfilling intimacy happens in a loving, committed relationship (like marriage). You deserve to be with someone who values your health, future, and overall well-being.
I missed my period, feel sick, but my test is negative. What should I do?
Your reproductive cycle is guided by a delicate balance of hormones between your brain and reproductive organs. These hormonal shifts affect not just your cycle, but also your overall health. At different stages of your cycle, your vagina, cervix, and uterus go through normal changes, which may cause discharge or discomfort.
It’s important to know the difference between normal changes and signs of possible infections like Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) or Chlamydia, or diseases like HPV or Herpes.
If you are concerned, we offer free testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Understanding how your body works will help you make confident, informed decisions about your health.
