Study Notes
- Here are study notes based on provided text
Female Puberty
- Female puberty typically starts between 8 and 13 years old.
- Reproductive maturation in boys lags behind girls by about 2 years.
Ovulation and Menstrual Cycle
- A major landmark of puberty in females is the start of the menstrual cycle.
- This cycle involves monthly ovulation, leading to menstruation when pregnancy does not occur.
- Ovulation usually happens 10-16 days before the next period or around the middle of the menstrual cycle.
Menstrual Cycle Timeline
- January 10: Menstruation occurs
- February 13-14: Menstruation cycle
- March 15-16: Menstruation cycle
- Ovulation occurs between menstruation cycles
Pregnancy Occurrence
- Pregnancy occurs when a male and female have sexual intercourse where the penis enters the woman's vagina.
- Sperm swim through the cervix, into the womb, and finally reach the fallopian tubes.
- After the egg or ovum is released into the fallopian tube, fertilization occurs, leading to the development of an embryo.

- Has no cost.
- No effect on STIs/HIV.
Sterilization
- Vasectomy for males and tubal ligation for females.

- Highly effective.
- Theoretically 100% effective.
- 1 time expense
- No effect on STIs/HIV.
Birth Control Pill
- Contains synthetic estrogen.

- Could be long-lasting, relatively inexpensive.
- Inserted by the doctor in the first few days of menstruation.
- Must be examined every few months.
- No effect on STIs/HIV.
Health Effects of Early Pregnancy in Adolescents
- Obstructed labor is a result of a woman under 20, as the pelvic area is still growing and may not be large enough to allow passage of the baby through the birth canal
- If a young woman is not physically mature, the uterus may tear during the birth process.
Other Complications of early pregnancy
