What is the dumbest advice/myth

Generally the egg remains fertile for about 3 days. Therefore, you can get pregnant if semen reaches your egg between day 14 and day 17. And, like I said, sperm lives up to 10 days. So, if you have a "textbook" cycle (which almost no one does, it's an average), if you have sex anywhere between day 4 and day 17, you can get pregnant. Where things get sticky is the fact that not every woman ovulates on day 14 - some way before and some way after. Also, 3 days is an average fertility, it could actually be 1 day or 5 days.
BUT, in regards to your period, you would have to be ovulating during your period to actually get pregnant while you are having your period. That would be extremely rare.

What people are saying when they say that "Yes, you can get pregnant during your period" is that say you have sex on day 4 of your period...the sperm lives 10 days, and you ovulate on day 14 (your cycle begins the first day of your period), then you would get pregnant from the sex you had during your period, but you wouldn't GET pregnant while you were having your period.

Either way....my name isn't Moses and I am NOT parting the Red Sea with my rod.....

Dumb advice- you can't get pregnant if the guy pulls out.

This reminds me of spring break and the "if two people are having sex in the hot tub and you are in the hot tub (but don't participate in the sex), you can get pregnant"

Which leads me to- why would you sit in a hot tub with two other people having sex?

And that reminds me of the genital herpes commercial...

"70% of people got gential herpes from their partner while they were experiencing no symptoms..."

Yeah...well that still leaves 30% that are having sex with nasty goods. Gross.

I remember an aquaintance in my dorm freaking out when she got the news from our student health center that she had gential herpes. She swore she was a virgin. Then we saw her boyfriend walking around with two HUGE cold sores on his mouth.

Well, sort of related:

1. I heard someone say that if you eat a ton of lemons, it will cause your period to stop for a month (and she was planning to do this in order to not have her period while on her honeymoon)...(what a dummy!).

2. I heard someone else say that if you drink lots of orange juice, it will get your period to stop, mid-week even!

3. The same person said that if you want to go swimming while you're on your period, you should take a very cold shower first, then you'll be good to go for at least 3-4 hours in the pool....terrible.

But the WORST sex advice I ever got was from my mom, who said:

"Don't go around kissing boys, because the next thing you know you'll be pregnant!"

She left out how pregnancy actually occurs, so you can imagine that at age 10 I was terrified of any boys trying to kiss me, even on the cheek!! LOL!
