Focusing on Fertility: Intro to Fertility Awareness-Based Methods

Women of all ages and stages of life are increasingly seeking alternatives to hormonal contraception. In fact, a growing dearth of evidence-based research supporting FABMs, also commonly known as Natural Family Planning (NFP), has developed far beyond the rhythm method popularized in the 1940s. Whether your interest in natural methods of fertility care are theological or medicinal, this webinar will introduce you to a variety of Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FABMs) and highlight their benefits and effectiveness..
The HHS Center for Faith and Opportunity Initiatives and the Office of Population Affairs are co-hosting the first installment of the Family Health Webinar Series, highlighting the benefits of FABMs for avoiding or achieving pregnancy, regulating menopause, and utilizing your cycle as a tool to diagnose other health concerns, such as endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or cervical cancer, among others..
Dr. Marguerite Duane, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to Teach the Science (FACTS) and Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University, will present an Introduction to Fertility Awareness: The Signs of the Female Cycle Explained. This webinar covers the science of a woman’s cycle, the applications and benefits of using FABMs for optimal health, and the effectiveness of FABMs for family planning..

When you look up birth control options, you will see the pill/patch/iud/shot/implant/etc, but then you’ll also see one vague category: non-hormonal birth control or the rhythm method. Here is where they lump together all of the natural birth control methods. THIS IS INFURIATING! Let’s talk about why the rhythm method doesn’t work, fertility awareness method vs the rhythm method, and why charting your cycles is so important (spoiler: the rhythm method does NOT chart your cycles)..

Fertility Awareness Methods

Fertility Awareness Methods

What is the rhythm method?
.

When you use the rhythm method, you track when you are “fertile” or most likely to get pregnant. If you avoid having unprotected sex while you are fertile, you are less likely to get pregnant. Some people call this method “fertility awareness” or “natural family planning.”.
.

How effective is the rhythm method?
.

If always used correctly, 3-5 out of 100 women who use these methods will get pregnant each year. If not always used correctly, 25 out of 100 women who use these methods will get pregnant each year. The rhythm method works best for women with regular periods..
.

How does it work?
.

You can use the rhythm method by keeping sperm out of your vagina on the days you are fertile. You are most fertile around the day your ovary releases an egg..
.

There are several ways to predict when you are likely to ovulate (release an egg). Your body changes in small ways around this time. If you track one or more of these changes, you can get an idea of when you are fertile. Tracking several of these together is best:.
.

Temperature Method — Take your temperature in the morning every day before you get out of bed. Your temperature rises by about 0.4°F around the time you release an egg..
.

Cervical Mucus Method — The amount and texture of cervical mucus changes around the time your ovary releases an egg. Each day, check the changes in your cervical mucus. You can figure out when you ovulate based on these changes..
.

Calendar Method — Chart your cycles on a calendar. Keep track of your fertile days..

When you are fertile, you have two options to prevent pregnancy:.
.

Do not have vaginal sex.

Use another form of birth control.
.

If you have unprotected sex on a day that you may be fertile, you should take emergency contraception as soon as possible within five days..
.

What are the benefits of using the rhythm method?.
.

Fertility awareness methods are free or involve a small cost for tracking materials..

Once you know how to use them, these methods are always available..

If you decide you want to become pregnant, you can use the rhythm method to determine the days you are most likely to become pregnant..
.

What are the downsides of using the rhythm method?.
.

The rhythm method does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)..

You must be aware of your cycle and fertile days each time you have sex..

Fertility awareness methods are less effective at preventing pregnancy than some other birth control methods..
.

Some women don’t have regular cycles. The rhythm method might not work for these women..

Both partners must agree to use this method. They have to agree to abstain from vaginal sex or use a different method during fertile days..
.

For more information the rhythm method, talk to your health care provider. For detailed instructions on practicing fertility awareness, see www.fwhc.org/birth-control/fam.htm.

Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) are ways to track your ovulation so you can prevent pregnancy. FAMs are also called “natural family planning” and “the rhythm method.” Want to learn how to track your fertility? Find a Health Center. Fertility awareness is an easy, scientifically sound way to track women’s fertility, and promote or prevent pregnancy. It’s a big improvement on calendar rhythm birth control.

Fertility awareness (Rhythm) Created: 09/14/2012. Last Updated: 04/15/2013. Share on: Effectiveness: 75 to 97 percent; effectiveness increases if you use several methods of tracking fertility, such as calendar, cervical mucus and temperature (24 pregnancies per 100 women each year). FERTILITY AWARENESS / Fertility awareness-based methods—or natural family planning—are all about tracking your menstrual cycle to determine the days that you can get pregnant. The tricky part is actually knowing when those days are.

To do that, you’ll need to pay very close attention to. Calendar Rhythm Method: count and record days in each menstrual cycle for six months and predict future fertile days (days when pregnancy can occur) using a standard calculation. The following fertility awareness-based methods rely on observing bodily changes: TwoDay Method: track cervical fluid every day, twice a day.

Fertility awareness is knowing and recognizing when the fertile time (when a woman can get pregnant) occurs in the menstrual cycle. This is the home of the Fertility Awareness Method of Birth Control Facebook group which was created in 2014 in order to provide a safe, non-judging, women-only space for any woman who observes fertility signs (basal body temperature, cervical mucus/fluids, and cervix position) to track their fertility for birth control, health, or conception. But here’s the difference: The rhythm method pretends women run like clocks, while fertility awareness means paying attention to the sometimes unpredictable signs and symptoms that come along with. Natural Family Planning, also called fertility awareness is a method of birth control that does not use any drugs or devices. It combines the calendar/rhythm method, the basal body temperature method, and the cervical mucus method.

The natural family planning method is more. Fertility awareness is sometimes called natural family planning, periodic abstinence, or the rhythm method. How Does Fertility Awareness Work? If a couple doesn’t have sex around the time of ovulation, the girl is less likely to get pregnant.

The trick is knowing when ovulation happens.

List of related literature:

A peak of song activity during the fertile period may also be important to stimulate the last stages of ovarian development and ovulation (Møller, 1988).

Fertility awareness techniques have evolved from keeping track of the menstrual cycle (the so-called “rhythm method”; see ‘menstruation) to avoid intercourse around the time of ovulation: tracking body temperature and cervical mucus consistency can raise effectiveness to more than 80%.

  • I got pregnant in the second month of using Daysy + condom, talked to them about how they are keeping track of users and they told me they rely only on the first study and they do not keep track with actual users

    Reply

  • I just got off of the pill about 2 months ago and have been dealing with symptoms from it… I have been doing a lot of research on a more holistic way to track my cycle. Thanks so much for this video (:

    Reply

  • I started taking the pill recently because I’ve never been pregnant and don’t know if I’ll ever be, which means I’m at higher risk for ovarian cancer because my ovaries have never stopped ovulating. Fortunately no side effects yet.
    Stopping ovulation for a couple years in your lifetime, either from pregnancies or birth control, helps prevent ovarian cancer because it gives your ovaries a break

  • Cheers for the Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched Tarbbatigan Complete Unit Tip (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to get pregnant naturally minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.

  • Great Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched Tarbbatigan Complete Unit Tip (google it)? It is a good one off product for learning how to get pregnant naturally minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cooworker after many years got great success with it.

    Reply

  • How successful is this? I’ve been doing this for about six months now due to the effects synthetic hormones had on my body, and when trying to explain it to people they are horrified �� Most people seem convinced that this doesn’t “work”. Any advice on how to explain it to people? I’ve been told by people that it doesn’t work because on any day of your cycle you have a 75% chance of possibly getting pregnant. (Which makes NO sense to me).

    Reply

  • Did you get the Daysy Fertility Tracker or the Daysy & “Birth Control Protocol” one? There’s a price difference but I’m not sure how else they differ. Thank you in advance!

    Reply

  • I really enjoyed this video! I’m pretty good with remembering when mine is thanks to the Clue App and I am pretty sure I have a hormone imbalance or something because sometimes I experience being unable to function on a normal level. It effects me quite a lot.

    Reply

  • What if I don’t ovulate… I don’t plan children right now, but would like to later on in life, and I want everything to be working correctly. After five months of no period I got one in January, and I’m so scared of when the next one will be…

  • Oh my god THANK YOU!!!! There really is not enough good, comprehensive information out there about women’s health, fertility, cycle changes, etc. I truly appreciate that you put together such a well rounded video. It includes so much valuable information in a very easy to understand format. FINALLY!! ❤️ thank you!

    Reply

  • Sorry Meghan, I like you very much but I have to give a thumbs down this time. It is VERY IRRESPONSIBLE from you to promote natural birth control. Women can get pregnant at ANY TIME of the cycle. So many women got pregnant using these three methods!
    To all the women: if you don’t take a REAL birth control method, ALWAYS USE A CONDOM. If you don’t want to take hormones, use a copper IUD. Anyway a woman birth control AND a condom is the safest.

  • This video is so relevant for me right now! I am currently reading Taking Charge Of Your Fertility and loving it and learning so much. Thanks so much for sharing this info! I only wish I had known about this years ago.

  • I am so scared to use this type of method (basal body temperature) since so many people here in Sweden have become pregnant using a similar tool. My biggest nightmare is becoming pregnant again. I would not be able to handle it. So I am on the pill but I really don’t want to:/

    Second, this video is so helpful! This topic has been on my mind for a while now, and you made it so informative while still simple and easy to understand.

  • I have downloaded and uninstalled so many cycle tracking apps. I downloaded clue as soon as you mentioned it. It’s the best one yet!

  • Thank you for this video & for being so thorough. I always thought the cervical mucus ( never knew it was called this ) which is always at a 1 was a way for our vaginas to cleanse themselves. Sorry for the TMI.

  • Hi!!! Excellent video, exactly wat I needed, I cant wait to stop using the contraceptive injection, have had a really bad experience with it.
    I’d love to start using Daysy, but I have a question, hopefully someone could help me:)
    I work as a baker 4 days a weeks, what means that I don’t have an exactly hour of waking up every day, sometimes it could be a 2 am, 7 am or 9 am. Will Daysy work for me? I really want to know before investing that amount of money on it.
    Thank you.

  • … I apparently suck at natural birth control…. I’m pregnant �� in about a year or so I can start trying again at tracking better (3 months till baby is born, then about a year or so till I start getting periods again)

    Reply

  • I have not used hormonal birth control since I was first married and I didn’t like the affects of it and got off it. I have had success just tracking things and being aware. By the way, I absolutely love your hair curly. It’s so very pretty.

  • Hi Meghan Thank you for this informative video. i’ve been thinking about going the natural birth control route. Right now Iam using the IUD method been using this birth control for about 8 years its been working great. But I don’t want to rely on it forever.

  • Great vid! Especially the part where you differentiate between the Rhythm method in this method! That was great news to me. I’m interested in learning this method. I hope you have many more videos that explain in detail how to do it. As you were guided I hope you as well can guide us

  • Do you have to buy it yearly or once? I seriously can’t be thankful enough for this video, I’ve had a copper iud for a yr now and am having lots of symptoms severe depression, dizziness and more and the pill causes side effects too so thanks thanku

  • Thank you for such a great review on the fertility awareness method! I’m using it to help achieve pregnancy, but I love that it can be used to prevent pregnancy or to better understand your body.

  • We have been able to successfully track our fertility for the last 25 years using mucous observations. Our (4) children were all intended. Preventing pregnancy without any other method (barrier or anything else) for the last 16 years because of the very high risk of rupture of the uterus. The new advances in technology are so great! Ladies, you can do this and it is so worthwhile!!

  • Its also good for your health to be aware of your cycle so you know whats normal and whats not.
    TMI but ive had sex regularly with guys finishing inside me for five years. Still not pregnant. Just stating my experience with fertility awareness. I ask my partners to get tested and strictly never use condoms. I just dont have sex anywhere near my fertile window (which is nice, i actually enjoy holding off and the anticipation) and as a side bonus my period never sneaks up on me. Its amazing. It can be an empowering and connecting experience both with yourself and your partner.

  • The study daysy made with the 99.4% effectiveness got retracted from the scientific journal it was published in just fyi. It excluded any who had not used it for 13months or less. So I’m just guessing here but any women who had unintended pregnancy in the first year and quit using it were not surveyed. But this vid was made before it was supposed to be retracted. I think this would still be a great addition to symptothermal method.

  • It is only as effective as you are motivated to make it effective (by getting educated and sticking to the guidelines/rules).
    I have been using the sympto thermal method for about a year. It’s a bit of learning to begin with but once you are educated and understand the rules it’s not hard at all. Like riding a bike, I don’t have to think about it anymore. You don’t have to have regular cycles, that’s why there are rules, to help you determine when things change or you can’t get accurate temperature etc. We have come a long way since the calendar method. (Unfortunately that is what those period tracker apps are)
    The more I learn about my anatomy, biology, hormones and how they work, the more I trust this form of birth control.

  • Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about Tarbbatigan Complete Unit Tip (search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to get pregnant naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got cool results with it.

  • I have a Daisy too! Btw I am in love with your hair!! Keep it this way!
    The only challenge with Daisy is to remember measuring every morning before you get out of the bed. Sometimes i get out of the bed and then I remember and that moment is like “OH NOO”
    I also have 1 question. Do we need to measure our temperature at the same time every morning to be accurate?

  • I was having so much anxiety about birth control, worried the hormones would even give me more anxiety. I’m so glad I learned about this method!
