Using fertility awareness as contraception means having periods - true periods, not the withdrawal bleeds you get on the pill. This can be a mixed blessing. If all goes well, they can be reassuring. A great indicator of overall health and fertility, and a handy way to confirm that we’re not pregnant. However some women have absent periods, heavy periods, period pain, PMS, acne, breast pain, PCOS, irregular bleeding, endometriosis, fibroids... It’s not exactly the stuff to fill you with joy about your natural hormones. |
