My friends are having a debate about whether the rhythm method will work as birth control for Romy.

Romy is having a whole bunch of sex with a relatively new boyfriend. She already got pregnant (and aborted) once due to misreading an ovulation test strip. She feels confident that she won't get pregnant again by using the rhythm method. She's not on birth control and they don't use condoms.

Aaron is suspicious and thinks she's seriously risking another pregnancy. They're debating so I told them I'm making a prediction market.

If Romy intentionally gets pregnant, this will resolve to no (but she reports definitely not wanting to have a baby before February)

I’ve been using the rhythm method for years, never been pregnant as far as I know.

What do you call couples who use the rhythm method?

@JohnLynch Parents

You should advise her not to abort if this happens.

You shouldn't.

@EnopoletusHarding You shouldn't be allowed to abort if you're not even trying to stop it.

Type of person who's okay with abortion but not condoms.

How is she using the rhythm method? Are they not having sex during the fertile period altogether?

I wonder how much the results are skewed by desired pregnancy resolving NO instead NA

@Enlil I second that this market would be better resolving NA than NO in case of purposeful pregnancy

@mongo too late, this was clear in description and is what people have traded on. Price it in 😘 And/or create a second market with those conditions.
