All About Fertility Awareness
Fertility Awareness is the practice of observing hormonal biomarkers, recording that data in a chart, interpreting one’s current fertility status, and acting according to one's fertility intentions.
Fertility awareness can be used to track health, or avoid or achieve pregnancy.
Avoiding pregnancy depends on detecting the time of probable ovulation, using hormonal biomarkers such as cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and urinary hormones. When used to avoid pregnancy, evidence-based fertility awareness-based methods can be up to 99% effective with proper instruction and rule-following (1).
About FEMM
I teach the FEMM Method (Fertility Education and Medical Management), a highly effective symptohormonal method of charting for health and family planning. I love the FEMM method because the protocols are easy to follow, and using urinary hormone tests for luteinizing hormone gives extra confidence. FEMM's teaching focuses largely on health and body literacy, and is secular and inclusive in nature.
FEMM also has a network of physicians trained in restorative reproductive wellness.
