ask the sexpert I am a jogger and I have a special question: I know that a diaphragm must stay in place six hours after intercourse to be effective Could jogging or other physical exercise during those six hours cause the diaphragm to slip and increase the chance of pregnancy? In most cases, it a woman is properly fitted for a diaphragm, this should not be a concern However, in women who are very heavy or who have had several children, it may be eas ier for the diaphragm to slip out of place The reason is that the dia phragm depends partially upon the tone of the pelvic muscels and vaginal wall to maintain its proper position Obesity and childbearing may cause relaxa tion of these muscles Con sequently, during physical ex ercise such as jogging, there is a possibility that the diaphragm may be dislodged A friend told me that you can be pregnant and still have per iods Is this true? If so, how would I know if I might be pregnant? Some women continue to have menstrual periods after conceiving, but typically these periods are lighter and shorter than normal Any time a woman has an unusually light period and suspects pregnancy, she should have a test Urine preg nancy tests are available at Planned Parenthood for $7 and $10 These tests are accurate as early as two days after a missed (or light) period They are 97 to 99 percent accurate' Many women do not have any pregnancy symptoms other than a changed period Those who do most often report nau sea. breast tenderness or enlar gement and frequent urination But there is no sure way to con firm pregnancy without a test To schedule an appointment for a test, call Planned Parenthood Monday through Friday between 9 a m and 5 p m This column is written by Planned Parenthood, a non profit agency providing com plete birth-control services, pregnancy testing, counseling and referral for pregnancy planning If you have inquiries or Sexpert questions, we can be reached at 344-9411 or 134 E 13th Ave. Eugene EMU Board to discuss office shifts Allocating space in the ASUO offices will be discussed by the EMU Board today, as well as electing a new chairer Although the proposed space-allocation policy was ta ken up by the Incidental Fee Committee Tuesday and has been bouncing around student government for many months, Summer EMU Board chairer Bob Needham says he expects little comment today Needham and IFC chairer Karsten Rasmussen agree that it the policy passes as written the IFC could be forced out of EMU Suite 4 because of what Needham calls a "conflict of interest' with the ASUO execu tive who also uses the office Needham stresses that neither the ASUO executive nor the IFC "have a say" in the decision, although the EMU Board includes an ASUO repre sentative and two representa tives from the IFC Electing the new chairer requires a quorum to attend the meeting but Needham says he doesn't yet know how many members that takes The board will meet at 3 30 p m today in EMU Room 337 Spoce Saving save 31.
