No, You're Not Fertile Every Day: Learning About FAM with Nat | Ep. 112
Manage episode 489258473 series 3533541
The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed approach to natural birth control that helps you understand your fertile window through tracking biological markers like basal body temperature and cervical mucus. Nat, a fertility awareness educator, explains how this method empowers women by providing deeper insights into their cycles and hormonal patterns.
• FAM is not the rhythm method or natural cycles, but rather tracks ovulation signs specifically
• Reliable ovulation signs include basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and sometimes LH tests
• Manual charting is preferred over predictive algorithmic apps
• Daily tracking takes only minutes but provides powerful insights about fertility status
• FAM works effectively even with irregular cycles or PCOS
• Ovulation can be confirmed through temperature shifts, making it possible to identify safe periods
• Cervical mucus observations don't require large amounts - subtle signs are equally important
