The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)

The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a natural method of determining whether a woman is fertile or infertile by observing simple body signs and applying a few rules of interpretation. This section provides both an introduction to the method and a primer in its application.

Introduction to the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)

FAM has been used for over 30 years as a natural method of birth control by hundreds of thousands of couples around the world. With the advent of the Internet, FAM has spread even more quickly among those trying-to-conceive, as it is relatively easy to learn, is non-invasive, and provides great topics for discussion on message boards!

FAM pinpoints when a woman is most fertile, when ovulation has occurred, and when she might be pregnant. Because of its efficacy in predicting fertility, FAM can reduce the time it takes to successfully conceive from an average of 6 months to 2-3 months.

FAM is based upon the charting and analysis of certain simple body signs that change with changes in a woman's menstrual cycle. Specifically, waking temperature (also referred to as basal body temperature) and cervical fluid (sometimes referred to as cervical mucus) change predictably and identifiably with changes in the hormonal cycle that accompanies ovulation and menstruation. Users of Ovusoft Fertility Software simply observe and record these changes and the software then analyzes them to determine fertility, to estimate the date of ovulation, and to identify pregnancy.

If not using software, manual practicioners of FAM learn the various rules of the method by reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility or by taking classes from a certified FAM practicioner. Then, they simply record their fertility signs on printed charts (which are available for free by clicking here) and make their own interpretations using the rules of the method.

A Primer on the Fertility Awareness Method

Ovusoft.com provides a basic primer on the Fertility Awareness Method and the science behind its practice. This is not intended to replace the book, software, or training, but simply to provide some background on the method and convince the average person of its absolute basis in medical science.

The Primer is made up of the sections that follow, each of which begins with a brief overview, followed by a detailed discussion of the topic. If you want a good overview of how the Fertility Awareness Method works, start with the first and follow it through to the end. If you do not currently know a lot about the cycle of fertility, you will find the Primer informative and interesting. A woman's cycle is truly an amazing series of biological events!
