How does the rythum method work?

The rhythm method, also known as the calendar method, is a natural family planning technique that involves tracking the menstrual cycle to predict fertile days. By identifying the days when ovulation occurs—typically around the midpoint of the cycle—couples can avoid unprotected intercourse during the fertile window to prevent pregnancy. This method requires careful record-keeping of menstrual cycles over several months to accurately determine fertile and infertile days. However, it can be less effective than other contraceptive methods due to variations in individual cycles.
