We as women are so used to experiencing various types of pains and discomforts during our cycles that we may lose sight of what is normal versus what merits seeing a health practitioner. Of course, the benefit of learning about Fertility Awareness and charting your cycle is that you become acutely aware of what signs to be concerned about.

One of the most important conditions that you want to identify and treat immediately is called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), because not treating it can lead to blocked fallopian tubes, among other conditions. Although it’s possible to not have any symptoms, it’s more likely that you will have one or several of the following:

  • Pain in your lower abdomen
  • Fever
  • Painful urination
  • Vaginal discharge
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Irregular menstrual bleeding
