5	1 Your Body (5m 40s)	1	Welcome and introduction	Hi and welcome to a story about your body... but not just any part of your body! This is a story about the female reproductive system. In the next 15 minutes, you'll learn about what happens to your body when you become an adult and how to take good care of it.	Body --> Zoom in to reproductive system.
6		2	Puberty	Whether you're a boy or a girl, everyone will go through puberty in their lives. It's a little different for everyone but generally your body changes from a kid's body to an adult's body and prepares to be able to make babies! Some changes are on the outside of your body like hair growing on areas you never had hair before. Some changes are inside your body. For boys, the body starts to produce sperm. Sperm comes out from the penis in a liquid form called semen. Boys will notice this when they get their first ejaculation, usually involuntarily while they're sleeping.... an experience called wet dreams. For girls you'll start getting your menstruation, also known as period!
7		3	Reproductive system	So what exactly are periods and where do they come from? In our bodies, we have many systems. For example the respiratory system, the urinary system, the digestive system, and our reproductive system. These systems in our body help to keep us alive. For example, the respiratory system helps you to breathe, the urinary system helps you to pee, the digestive system helps you to process the foods that you eat into your stomach, and comes out as poop.
8		4	Reproductive system	The reproductive system helps you create new life... babies! Males and females have different reproductive systems. This is how the female reproductive system looks like. It's located right here inside your body.
9		5	Reproductive system	This is the uterus. It is where your baby grows when you are pregnant. It is also where your period blood comes from.
10		6	Menstruation	Your period is how your body prepares for a possible pregnancy. Before you get your period, the uterus builds a healthy blood lining rich in nutrients for a possible baby and an egg is released from the ovary
11		7	Menstruation	If no pregnancy occurs, your egg and the blood lining breaks down and comes out of your uterus to the vagina as blood, which is your period.
12		8	Menstruation	If you are pregnant, your baby will grow and stay inside your uterus, and you won't get your period.
13		9	Menstruation	Getting your period means you have a healthy reproductive system.
14		10	Menstrual cycle	Generally you will get your period every 28 days, sometimes it's longer and sometimes it's shorter. This is called a period cycle.	(show diagram of menstrual cycle)
15		11	Menstrual cycle	Day 1 of your period cycle is the first day you start to bleed. Usually a woman will bleed for 3 days or up to 10 days. This shows that everybody is different, and your period is unique to your own body.
16		12	Menstrual cycle	After the bleeding stops, the whole cycle then starts again.
17		13	Pregnancy	To become pregnant, three important things must happen. First, a man and a woman have vaginal sex. Second, a sperm from a male's reproductive system and an egg from a female's reproductive system successfully join together after sex. This is called fertilization, but remember, it doesn’t happen right away. Sperm can stay inside you for up to 6 days after sex. Finally, when the fertilized egg successfully attaches itself in the uterus, this is when pregnancy officially begins.	show the reproductive organ
18		14	Pregnancy	The best time to get pregnant is on Day 11 to 18 of the period cycle. Your period cycle will start again if you are not pregnant so you will need sanitary pads or other menstrual products.
19		15	Pregnancy	If you have had vaginal sex and it's been more than a month since your last period, it’s a good idea to take a home pregnancy urine test to check if you're pregnant. You can easily buy one from any pharmacy and it can be as cheap as RM5. If you hadn't had sex and your period is late for more than 3 months, you should see a doctor.
20		16	Pregnancy Symptoms	Common early signs of pregnancy include headache, nausea, vomiting and mood swings. These signs usually appear during your first and second week of pregnancy. Your baby will grow and stay in your uterus for 9 months, and remember, you won't get your period.
21		17	Pregnancy - Antenatal Check up	If you are pregnant, you should schedule your first check-up, especially in the first 6 to 8 weeks of your pregnancy, to help you and your baby stay healthy. You can go to any government clinics for as low as RM20 per visit or other private and free clinics.
22	2 Family planning (6m 12s)	18	Family planning	Your reproductive system belongs to you. Although you cannot control your period cycle, you CAN DECIDE on whether you want to be pregnant or control the number of children you have. This is called family planning.
23		19	Family planning	Why is family planning important? Raising a child is challenging and can cost a lot of money. By controlling the number of children you have, you can manage your finances better and this will ensure your child receives the best care possible: nutrituous food, good education and your attention.
24		20	Family planning	Family planning is also beneficial for your health, physically and emotionally. Proper planning can reduce pregnancy-related health risks and give you time to pursue educational and livelihood opportunities. Leaving a gap of about 2 years between your first and second child also gives your body enough time to heal.
25		21	Contraceptives	Remember, family planning allows women to make informed choices about if, when and how they want to have children. Here are a few methods to prevent pregnancy, called contraceptives and only you can decide on the best method for you.
26		22	Contraceptive - OCP	First, oral contraceptive pills. This method uses pills that you have to take at the same time everyday to prevent pregnancy. One pack has 28 pills for 1 period cycle and costs about 8 Ringgit. You should only get this from a pharmacy or a doctor. Forgetting to take pills and losing the pack are some of the main reasons why people might get pregnant when they use the pill. Be honest with yourself. If you know that you don’t always remember to take your medications daily, then the oral pill might not be the right birth control choice for you. It is 91% effective in preventing pregnancy.	> Maybe the visuals can help, something like: First, oral contraceptive pills. This method uses pills that you must take ✅ AT THE SAME TIME ✅ EVERYDAY to prevent pregnancy. One pack has 28 pills for 1 period cycle and costs about 8 Ringgit, depending on the brand. You should only get this from a pharmacy or a doctor. If you know you aren’t disciplined to take the pills ✅ AT THE SAME TIME ✅ EVERYDAY Then the oral pill might not be the right birth control choice for you. It is 91% effective in preventing pregnancy.
27		23	Contraceptive - Injections	Next are depo injections. It is an injection you get once every 3 months. To get the shot’s full birth control powers, you just have to remember to get a new shot every 12 weeks. That’s about only 4 times a year! You can get it for as low as RM18 per injection. At selected clinics, these injections are free of charge! It is 94% effective in preventing pregnancy.
28		25	Contraceptives - IUD	Here is another long term method with 99% effectiveness: An IUD. It is a small, T-shaped piece of plastic that is placed in your uterus. Once in place, you can’t feel it and it is very effective at preventing pregnancy for many years, possibly up to 10 years depending on the brand. Insertion and removal of the IUD can only be done by a doctor at a health facility and costs RM150 to insert, and RM50 to remove.	IUD = Intrauterine Device
29		26	Contraceptive - Condoms	Next are condoms. Your husband or sexual partner can wear this over his penis during sex to prevent you from getting pregnant and also sexually transmitted infections - but we'll talk about this later! Condoms cost about RM 10 for a pack of 3 but you may also get it for free at selected clinics. It is 85% effective in preventing pregnancy.
30		27	Contraceptives - Withdrawal	These options are the most effective. But if none of these options are available to you, you can ask your husband or sexual partner to use the pull-out method, which is pulling the penis out of the vagina before he ejaculates. However, it isn’t as easy as it sounds and requires great self-control from the man. He has to be sure to pull out before any semen is released, every single time you have vaginal sex. It is 78% effective in preventing pregnancy.
31		28	Contraceptive - Breastfeeding	Breastfeeding isn’t just a healthy way to feed your baby. It can also be a form of birth control, but only if done correctly. It is 98% effective in preventing pregnancy for up to 6 months after childbirth, as long as your period has not returned and you are fully or nearly fully breastfeeding. Once your period returns, be ready to use other family planning methods.
32		29	Emergency Method - Morning after pill	All the methods we've covered so far should be used before or during sex. If you did not use them or if your birth control method failed, like if the condom broke, then you can use an emergency contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. You can take the emergency pill up to 5 days after unprotected sex, but the sooner the pills are taken, the better they will work. You can buy them from a pharmacy for as low as 5 Ringgit. However, you should avoid using this method often as it can disrupt your period cycle and the effectiveness of the pill will decease. Remember, this pill is only for emergencies and should NOT be used as a regular method for birth control.
33		30	Contraceptive Closing	There are many more family planning methods that can be used by men or women. You and a doctor can work together to find a method that is affordable and right for you.
