[Mini] FAM As a Non-Hormonal Birth Control Option | Ep. 113
Manage episode 489690774 series 3533541
Earlier this week, Bridget interviewed Nat (@fertilityawarenessproject) about all things fertility awareness. This episode recaps Bridget's main takeaways from the conversation.
• Fertility awareness works even for those with irregular cycles like PCOS
• The method tracks three key indicators: cervical mucus, LH levels, and basal body temperature
• Rising estrogen before ovulation changes cervical mucus quality and quantity
• LH strips help predict when ovulation is about to occur
• Basal body temperature rises after ovulation due to progesterone production
• FAM differs from the rhythm method by using your body's specific signals, not calendar predictions
• Temperature can be tracked with devices like TempDrop or traditional oral thermometers
• Fertility awareness and cycle awareness complement each other
