Family Planning

Ovulation
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary to the fallopian tube. It occurs 2 weeks before the first day of menstruation. At that time, if sperm meets the egg, fertilization happens.

Fertilization is the joining of the father’s sperm and the mother’s egg to form a baby. Babies
grow up in the mother's vagina for about 9 months.

pregnant, it is difficult to keep going to school, studying, and playing with your friends. Being
a parent costs a lot of money. Teenage pregnancy is very dangerous for both the mother’s and
baby’s health. The pelvis of teenagers is not wide enough to safely give birth and for the baby
