Can you learn on your own?
The NHS website suggests you get support from a Fertility UK practitioner like me before using fertility awareness as contraception (FAM). Research suggests this is what works best.
But it’s your body. Many women do learn from books, websites and friends.
Maybe avoiding pregnancy is not your number one priority, or you're not having sex at the moment, or you’re using condoms, or you're breastfeeding, or you just like doing things for yourself.
Whatever your reason, this website is a good place to start. I've done my best to simplify fertility awareness, and give you places to find out more.
It's is not the slickest website in the world but then you don't have to be perfect to use fertility awareness effectively.
So, let's get going. If you've checked that FAM is right for you, and you're happy to use condoms or other precautions for at least nine days a month, you can move on to cycle basics.
