Press release

An open invitation to a worldwide discussion

SCS — Healthy Child Hours

Following 29 years of observations and work, SCS puts the following claim forward for public discussion worldwide:

Could the timing of fertilization, in relation to the timing of intercourse, be a cause of unexplained health problems at birth?

We believe that investigating this claim first requires answers to three fundamental questions:

1. How many hours does the menstrual cycle of a healthy, fertile woman actually last?
2. How many days does human pregnancy actually last from fertilization to birth?
3. Could the time of intercourse play a determining role in whether a baby is born healthy or with health problems?

Three findings reported by SCS from 29 years of observations:

1. Among healthy prospective mothers, individual average menstrual cycles are between 24 and 28 days, with an overall average of approximately 26.3 days. The cycle should be tracked in hours rather than days.
2. The actual duration of pregnancy from fertilization to birth is approximately 260 days.
3. The central SCS hypothesis is that healthy prospective mothers with average cycles of 24–28 days could prevent unexplained health problems at birth by avoiding conception during SCS hours calculated from their individual menstrual start times.

We do not ask for these three findings to be accepted as true.

We ask that they be discussed, researched and tested against independent data.

Today we open our 29 years of observations to discussion by women worldwide, scientists and health institutions.
