WHAT IS fertility awareness?
Fertility Awareness (FAM) is a natural method that teaches women about the biological signs of fertility and reproductive health. Sometimes called Natural Family Planning, these methods help women learn about their bodies, monitor their reproductive health, and be empowered with knowledge and understanding about their individual health and bodies.
WHAT CAN FERTILITY AWARENESS do for me?
FAM provides an effective means of fertility awareness, allowing a couple to determine when in a woman’s cycle she is most fertile and likely to achieve or avoid pregnancy.
FAM is also incredibly effective at helping identify reproductive health issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), estrogen and progesterone deficiency, and more.
IS IT a lot of work?
No. Most FAM methods require only a few minutes a day to observe biomarkers and record them in the form of a chart (either on paper or digitally). Many women find that once they learn the method, it easily becomes part of their routine and they don’t feel it creates any additional work for them!
HOW effective is it?
FAMs are highly effective at achieving or avoiding pregnancy with instruction by a certified teacher. FAMs can also lead to successful identification of underlying causes of infertility.
IS IT scientifically proven?
Yes! FAM is gaining more attention in the world of medicine. Much research has been done on the various methods and their effectiveness. Learn more about the science behind the methods on the Creighton website or at WOOMB International.
