What is Fertility Awareness?
Fertility Awareness is a method of birth control with no hormones, chemicals, prescriptions, fittings or side effects; it is completely user-controlled and extremely low cost. When practiced carefully and correctly, fertility awareness is almost as effective as most hormonal methods of birth control. If used perfectly and you abstain from intercourse during fertile phases, it has a 98% success rate.. Many people use barrier methods combined with Fertility Awareness to prevent pregnancy.
FAM is also a wonderful method for those who are trying to become pregnant. Without chemical intervention, fertility awareness can help individuals who believed they were infertile become pregnant. FAM can pinpoint the perfect time to introduce sperm, which is especially helpful for people who do not have easy access to sperm.
