HAVING SEX DURING YOUR PERIOD CAN STILL MAKE YOU PREGNANT!! 🍑🍆

{RT for women on your Timeline}
There's a myth going around that women can’t get pregnant if they have sex while on their period.

While this doesn't happen all of the time, it still happens some of the time.

Here's why:
1. Shorter menstrual cycle

Most women have a 28-day cycle. Usually, they bleed for 3 to 5 of those days & are most fertile during the ovulation stage around 12 to 16 days before the next period starts. If she has a shorter cycle, it means she also ovulates earlier.
2. Sperm viability

Point 1 coupled with the fact that sperm can live inside the woman's body for up to 5 days, means that if the timing is right, sperm could stay inside her body just long enough to survive her period & fertilize an egg.
So, having sex during your period can still make you pregnant if the above two conditions are met.

That's why you should still consider using a condom if you want to have sex during your period but don't want to get pregnant.

A woman can conceive twins from two different biological fathers.

Such twins are genetically half-siblings because they came from the sperm of different men who had sex with their mother around ovulation.

This is known as heteropaternal superfecundation.

A thread 🧵

{Pls RT}
For this to happen:

1. The woman must ovulate twice (dizygotic), meaning she ovulates 2 eggs in the same cycle instead of the usual 1 egg.

2. She must have sex (or In Vitro Fertilization) with different men within a couple of days to one week around her ovulation.
Heteropaternal superfecundation can occur in:

• One complex act of sex (if a woman has sex with different men at the same time)

• Separate acts of sex with different men within 5 days, or

• When sperms from 2 separate men are introduced into her via artificial insemination.

An uncircumcised penis needs more attention to maintain good hygiene compared to a circumcised one. The foreskin attract more germs and dirt.

Please RT for awareness
If you're uncircumcised and don’t regularly clean under your foreskin, bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil can cause smegma to build up.

This can make your penis smell, cause foreskin inflammation (balanitis), and make pulling back your foreskin difficult (phimosis).
Both phimosis and balanitis can require medical attention if left untreated.

On the other hand, a circumcised penis doesn’t need additional hygiene. Just make sure you wash it regularly when you bathe.

HOW TO TREAT A BEE STING AT HOME 🐝

1. Find the stinger
2. Remove it with tweezers, fingernails or cards
3. Wash area with clean warm water
4. Apply ice/cold compress
5. Then hydrocortisone cream/calamine lotion &
6. Take a pain reliever if painful

{Share to who needs this!}
If you don't remove the stinger, bee stings can cause massive swelling (edema) with severe itching (erythema) & sometimes bumps (plaques & bullae), due to allergic reaction.

But once the stinger is removed, the itching & swelling should disappear within days.
In most cases, unless you’re allergic to bee stings or experiencing signs of a severe allergic reaction, you can treat bee stings at home if you follow the above simple steps.

If the symptoms don't disappear after 2 days, see your specialist.

Ladies,
Make sure you pee immediately after sex.

Urinating can help flush out the bacteria that may have entered your urine pipe (urethra) during vaginal sex.

This can prevent you from getting urinary tract infections.

{RT for sexually active ladies on your TL}
Peeing immediately after having sex is particularly helpful for people prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as women - due to their shorter urethra than that of men which is longer.
However, peeing after sex will not prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs) because it is not a form contraception.
