At the meeting, Susi also asked Japan to support ocean right, which is a right where a country can change leadership and governance pattern, without changing and stopping the rules of marine and fishery protection.

"We ask the Japanese support to roll the idea (ocean right) at the upcoming 2018 Ocean Conference," lid Susi.

In addition, we can also understand how the patriarchy system works. Especially putting a cigarette as a gender difference system. An independent, successful, brave guy who smokes and they are considered 'cool'. But women who smoke are considered spoiled and sometimes bad, called 'cheap'.

I have to say this explicitly, that in fact many women in Indonesia are smoking. Not because of social pressure, or just want to look 'cool'. Me and millions of other girls smoke because we want to oppose the 'role' that is already attached to the character of a woman. Because those who are non-smokers rate the behavior as "not really chick", while smokers think it's a "symbol of social change." Right now we are caught in the middle of two contradictory ideas.

Having offspring is one of the expectations of most couples. How to quickly get pregnant after menstruation can be used as one effort to achieve that goal. Basically, pregnancy requires meeting the egg and sperm cells. The female body has a marker that can be recognized as a fertile period. The fertile period is the right time to bring together eggs and sperm.

Menstrual cycle is one of the important things to be considered when planning a pregnancy. Menstrual cycle is the range of the number of days from the first day of menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation. By calculating the cycle, it can be known when the woman ovulates, namely the release of eggs from the ovary. For example, women with a menstrual cycle of 28 days will have 6 days with a higher likelihood of getting pregnant, ie 5 days before ovulation and 1 day during ovulation. Those days are called fertile periods.

The menstrual cycle may change monthly. For that, you need to record the menstrual cycle for several months. Mark the first day of menstruation as the 1st day. From the menstrual cycle record for several months, you can know the shortest and longest menstrual cycles. After knowing the menstrual cycle, you can estimate your fertile period.

Cervical fluid or mucus after menstruation can be a marker of fertile period as one way to get pregnant fast. Cervical mucus will experience changes in texture and color. The quantity of fluid that appears also depends on hormone levels. To know the emergence of cervical mucus, can be done in several ways, can use a tissue or finger to reach the cervical position. After menstruation, the likelihood of cervical mucus will be very slight or mucus looks cloudy and sticky. This is not the right time to get pregnant.

Then, the cervical mucus will turn clearer and slicker, almost like an egg whites. As this mucus gets more and more, you are getting closer to the fertile period. Three days later, cervical mucus appeared. One or two days after that, cervical mucus will multiply and slippery texture. In fact, not infrequently can make underwear become wet. This is a fertile period that can be used as a supporter of how to quickly get pregnant after menstruation.

If the menstrual cycle is relatively short, then the fertile cervical mucus will begin shortly after the menstruation is complete. However, if the menstrual cycle includes length, then you will feel longer periods where cervical mucus is slightly or sticky, before mucus appears which indicates fertile period.

To prepare for pregnancy, there are several other supportive measures, such as regular sexual activity, which is about 2-3 times per week.
