Use This To Get Pregnant…or Not!
Did you know that the same natural cycle tracking methods you use to get pregnant, you can use to prevent pregnancy?
MIND BLOWN!
Yup, it's called the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM).
“Fertility Awareness (FA) allows you to determine which days of your cycle are fertile and infertile. [It] involves tracking your three main fertile signs: cervical mucus (CM), basal body temperature (BBT), and cervical position, and together, these signs help you identify your fertile window.” — Lisa Hendrickson-Jack
💧Cervical Mucus: is what keeps sperm alive and changes throughout your cycle
🌡️Basal Body Temperature: spikes post-ovulation to keep your eggs warm
📏Cervix Height: opens and closes, and changes position depending on fertility
*These three signs together are a sure-fire way to understand whether or not you’re fertile, so you can “get jiggy” or abstain, depending on whether your goal is pregnancy or contraception.
*If done correctly, it can have a 95-99% efficacy rate — more effective than the 91% the combination pill provides — according to Dr. Jolene Bright in “Beyond the Pill.” And without the side effects that come with hormonal contraceptives.
