065: Carly's Favorite: The Super Powers of Cervical Fluid & Non-Hormonal Birth Control with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack author of The Fifth Vital Sign

Listen Later

Today's episode is one of my absolute favorites on a topic that we don't discuss enough - natural, non-hormonal birth control. Today I ask - what if you could have unprotected sex the majority of the month, without worry, and without having to be on hormonal birth control?

Sound too good to be true? Well, you might be surprised to find out that more and more women are taking control of their fertility without hormonal or potentially invasive methods of contraception.

Reproductive health practitioner Lisa Hendrickson-Jack explains what Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is, who it’s for, how it works, how it’s backed by science, and what it looks like on a daily basis.

Highlights:

  • 15:40 What it actually looks like to use the fertility awareness method
  • 21:22 Pros and cons of tracking your fertility yourself
  • 39:51 What cervical fluid does and how it helps with getting pregnant
  • 50:02 Tips for people interested in using FAM to prevent pregnancy
  • 53:56 Tips for women using FAM and trying to conceive
