How to Use Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) for Both Contraceptive and Fertility Purposes

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

  • What is Fertility Awareness Method and how did it come to be?
  • What are the different FAM tools (cervical mucus, BBT, etc.)?
  • Cervical mucus - what changes can we expect throughout the menstrual cycle? What do these changes mean (hormonal, sperm motility, etc.)
  • BBT - what changes can we expect throughout the menstrual cycle? What does this temperature change mean about hormonal function and where you are in the cycle?
  • What are the shortcomings with OPK or LH test strips?
  • What is the accuracy of FAM for contraception? When are our green/red days based off FAM?
  • What about fertility? When is the best day(s) to conceive based on FAM?
  • Where does someone start with FAM who is currently on an oral contraceptive but wants to switch to a non-hormonal contraception option?
