Only if you mean they all stopped taking it beforehand so each became pregnant before the voyage...

Traditional birth control pills are designed to mimic a natural menstrual cycle. A traditional pill pack contains 28 pills, but only 21 are active — containing hormones to suppress your fertility. The other seven pills are inactive. The bleeding that occurs during the week you take the inactive pills is withdrawal bleeding, which looks like a period. This is your body's response to stopping the hormones. If you skip the inactive pills and start a new pack of active pills right away, you won't have this withdrawal bleeding.

The bleeding that occurs while you take the inactive pills isn't the same as a regular period. Nor is the bleeding necessary for health. This is good news if you take birth control pills and want more control over your menstrual cycle, either for personal or medical reasons.

Yup, its part of the survival instinct. If you are super athletic the body assumes you are migrating or evading predators and decides you dont need to have a baby at that moment. Which is why those women also are typically less interested in sex than the average girl. They dont get stupid around babies either.

Seems more like it's guys who have never had a relationship with a woman before. :)

true, but the simplest info you get in sex ed is the biology of menstruation, and how the pill works.


....very sad.
