medium
Periodic abstinence is avoiding sex during
A
Luteal phase
B
Ovulatory phase
C
Menstrual phase
D
None of these
Solution
Avoid sex in ovulatory phase. Probable ova releasing day is $12-14$ day of menstrual phase, and sperm can live for $2-3$ days in female reproductive system. So, $10-17\; days$ are the most probable days for fertilisation. Draw backs of periodic abstinence The effectiveness of this method is limited because only a few women have regular menstrual cycle and the actual time of ovulation can not be produced as the ovulation in humans occurs about $14 \;days$ before the onset of the next menstruation
