Is Fertility Awareness and Cycle Charting right for me?

Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM) aka cycle charting/tracking may be the perfect fit for you if you are someone who experiences menstrual cycles or if you are a caregiver, partner, or advocate for those who do.

There are many goals that you can achieve by understanding your menstrual-ovulation cycle through cycle charting.

With cycle charting you can…

• prevent pregnancy without using hormonal methods

• support your future reproductive goals

• enhance pre-conception health

• expedite the conception process

• identify root causes of infertility

• access less invasive forms of treatment before going through IUI, IVF or other forms of assisted reproductive technologies (ART)

• understand your personal hormonal imbalances

Using a Fertility Awareness Method to chart your cycles is right for you if…

• You’re a cycling person currently in your reproductive years

• You want to gain a deeper level of body awareness in order to feel empowered in your body and your fertility rather than scared, fearful or anxious

• You can commit to a daily practice that takes no longer than brushing your teeth

• You can follow-through with your reproductive choices during your fertile wave

• You have a supportive partner(s)

• You do not need protection from STI’s or you’re willing to use an alternative barrier method if you do
