REVIEWS
"I've been experiencing some irregularities with my cycle, and I wanted a kind, sympathetic, knowledgeable woman to talk to, who would give me some ideas and information for self healing. Laura was all that, and more. She made me feel very calm remembering that we have so many tried and tested, wise-woman tools at our fingertips - and reminding me to relax and enjoy the process of caring for myself!"

What is Fertility Awareness?
The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a way of charting the menstrual cycle that allows a woman to know when she is fertile based on several body signs. The practice involves daily cervical mucus and basal body temperature (BBT) checks to determine where you are in your cycle.
Who can benefit from this practice?
Because Fertility Awareness allows you to know when you ovulate, it can be used to prevent pregnancy without hormones or to optimize your chances of conceiving.
Even if you are not actively trying to achieve or avoid pregnancy though, you can still use Fertility Awareness as a means of deep connection to your body: checking vital signs through your FAM chart can give you important insights into your hormonal health and natural rhythms.
Is FAM effective for birth control?
According to the 2007 Petra-Frank Hermann study, FAM is 99.4% effective for typical use and 99.6% effective with perfect use for those who understand the method well and follow the rules.
Is FAM difficult?
While Fertility Awareness is not particularly time-consuming (checking your temperature and cervical mucus daily only takes about 5-10 minutes), it does require a commitment to the practice of checking in with your body and a solid understanding of what you're seeing. On your own, it can be difficult to understand some of the signs you're seeing. For this reason, I recommend working with an instructor who can help you see the patterns in your temperature and cervical mucus changes.
