Did you know that there are only six days during your menstrual cycle when pregnancy is possible? The reality is that we DO NOT NEED synthetic hormonal birth control (like the pill, IUD or patch) to prevent pregnancy. There are other methods we were never taught!

No matter your views on birth control, it's essential to understand that you can track your fertility naturally and without health risks. The key is to understand your body and identify your fertile windows.

In this episode, we explore the Sympto-thermal Method, a hormone-free birth control option that each of us uses personally. If you're considering discontinuing hormonal birth control but are unsure about the next steps for natural methods, this episode is perfect for you!
