Fertility Awareness
Body literacy is your birthright
Most of us go our entire lives regularly visiting the GP, but were never told that natural birth control exists 🤯
The Symptothermal Method (sometimes known as the Fertility Awareness Method, or “FAM”) allows us to read the signs of our body to know when we are fertile, and when we are not.
This information is life-changing for everyone who struggles witih hormonal contraception side effects! It’s also the key to an empowered TTC (“trying to conceive”) journey.
In this library you’ll find answers to common questions about natural birth control, tips on charting to conceive, and recent news articles about FAM.
