When we get taught about the “birds and bees” at school
there is rarely any information when it comes to educating people about their
fertility and actually how it all works “down there”. We get the human biology
generalised
talk, menstrual cycles are 28 days long, ovulation occurs on day
14, but this is simply not true for everyone!
We are all different, and so are our menstrual cycles. For example if you and your best friend both have 30 day cycles on average, it could be that she ovulates on day 12, but you ovulate on day 18 of your cycle. So, completely different, even though the cycle length is the same. So how are you to know when you ovulate and the most optimal fertile time for conception?
This is where the practice of Natural
fertility or Natural
fertility management can help you. Natural Fertility is a means of
understanding and managing your fertility, in order to get pregnant or avoid a
pregnancy. Natural fertility methods are chosen for a number of reasons:
to maximise your chances of getting pregnant, to understand your menstrual
cycle and fertility when planning for pregnancy, or as an alternative to
other contraceptive methods for health or personal reasons.
Natural Fertility Practitioners can teach the Sympto-Thermal method (STM) of
natural fertility management. Scientifically based, it is a proven,
easy-to-learn means of taking control of your fertility.
Fertility Awareness
Fertility awareness is an understanding of your fertility and its relationship to your menstrual cycle. It can help you determine on which days you are fertile (where sex can result in pregnancy) and on which days you are not. Learning fertility awareness is possible at any stage of your reproductive life and can be used by women with regular or irregular cycles.
The benefits of fertility awareness are many, but primarily:
- It increases your chances of conceiving each cycle
- It can help you assess your gynaecological and fertility health
- It is the basis for a highly effective method of drug-free contraception
Fertility awareness is based on the observation and recording of scientifically proven fertility signs that all women experience during their menstrual cycles.
We can teach you how to observe, record and interpret these signs, so that you are able to accurately determine the fertile and infertile phases of your own personal cycle.Natural Fertility is empowering and puts YOU in control of your fertility.
