As a consequence of the body closure at the end of the six-week period, all the
diseases acquired in this period remain with no cure for life. Therefore, if for any
reason the abstinence is broken at this timframe, and some health alteration
comes, it is necessary to cure it before the end of quarantine. Then, the body will
not "keep" it. Thus, the said day has a special meaning, since this is the last
opportunity to recover from any kind of sickness that the mother is experiencimg
at the given moment. That is the reason why it should be observed, according
to women.
Women have also argued that it is necessary to wait for it to finish and look for
medical consultation for contraception. The topic involves power relationship

"I haven't had intercourse yet. I'm afraid. Only after the forty days. And after I get
the shot. Then, it's ok... (laughs), otherwise, patience" (Marina, 18 days pp)
The life course perspective also supports the examination of quality of life,
including the challenges of male and female fertility. An estimated 6.9 million
American women ages 15 to 44 have received infertility services (including
counseling and diagnosis) in their lifetime. Disparities in infertility diagnosis and
treatment exist among racial and ethnic groups, and may increase as
childbearing practices continue to change. In particular, African American
women experience higher rates of infertility.
