The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement, and Reproductive Health

The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM). Fertility Awarenes simply means of understanding human reproduction. It is based on the observation and charting of scientifically proven fertility signs that determine whether or not a woman is fertile on any given day. The three primary fertility signs are waking temperature, cervical fluid, and cervical position (the last one being an op-tional sign that simply corroborates the first two). FAM is an empowering method of natural birth control or pregnancy achievement, and it is an excellent tool for assessing gynecological problems and understanding your body.

Excerpts

How often have you heard that a menstrual cycle should be 28 days and that ovulation usually occurs on Day 14? This is a myth, pure and simple. And yet it is so accepted that it's sadly responsible for countless unplanned pregnancies. Furthermore, it has prevented many couples who have desired a pregnancy from attaining one. Much of this fallacy is a legacy of the dangerously inaccurate Rhythm Method, which falsely assumes that individual women have cycle lengths that, if not precisely 28 days, are reliably consistent over time. The result is that Rhythm is nothing more
than a flawed statistical prediction using a mathematical formula based on the average of past cycles to predict future fertility. In reality, cycles vary tremendously among women and often within each
woman herself, though most cycle lengths are 24 to 36 days.
