Fertiliity Awareness for Planning or Preventing Pregnancy

No matter what political persuasion a woman may adhere to, the subject of pregnancy is very important.

Whether you are a woman or a man, it is very valuable to really understand the menstrual cycle in general and to understand the specific cycle you or your woman partner, wife or friend is experiencing.

Below is a site that does a good job of explaining the basics and providing links to additional sites.

At the bottom of the page that the link below leads to are additional bits of information to explain most of the common birth control methods.






What is Fertility Awareness?

Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a collection of practices that help a woman know which days of the month she is most likely to get pregnant. A woman can learn when ovulation is coming by observing her own body and and charting physical changes. She can then use this information to avoid or encourage pregnancy. The most effective way to discover YOUR fertile time is to practice all of the techniques described here.

Fertility Awareness increases a woman's understanding of her body and her menstrual cycle. To be effective as birth control, it requires her to abstain from intercourse or to use a barrier method of birth control during the fertile time, approximately one-third of the month.
