It’s estimated that 3% of sexually active women in the United States use a Fertility Awareness-Based Method (FABM) to avoid pregnancy – that’s over 1.1 million women! Unfortunately, the majority are using the outdated and ineffective rhythm method.

Here in Australia, data from 2012-13 indicates that approximately 1.4% of sexually active women are using some form of FABM to avoid pregnancy.

The good news is that more and more of us are prioritising our bodily autonomy and hormonal health. Gone are the days of suffering through the side effects of the Pill! At Fertility Charting, we believe these statistics will increase dramatically over the coming decade (especially as femtech advancements bring natural fertility management further into the public eye).

Join the conversation as I chat with people around the world to hear their stories and experiences with the Symptothermal Method.
