the Fertility Awareness Method

The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a natural approach to family planning that involves tracking your menstrual cycle and signs of fertility, such as basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and cycle dates. By recognizing ovulation patterns, you can identify fertile days when conception is most likely, or avoid intercourse during this time for contraception. It requires daily monitoring and consistency, and is most effective when users fully understand their cycle. FAM does not involve hormones or devices, making it drug-free, but it requires commitment and education to be reliable.
