Getting support
You can learn about the fertility awareness method (FAM) on your own, or get an app, but the NHS website recommends you get support from a Fertility UK practitioner like me if you want to avoid pregnancy.
You don't know what you don't know. Talking things through with a specialist can make everything easier, as well as more effective.
Being a Fertility UK practitioner means I base my teaching on a simplified version of Sensiplan which is mentioned in this BMJ update on fertility awareness based methods of contraception.
This might be controversial but I suspect Fertility UK is even more effective than Sensiplan because it's easier, quicker and cheaper to learn and use.

My support for you includes:
- One hour Zoom session for you and your partner (if you have one and they want to join us). This includes a check of your cycle history and any health issues, a speedy explanation of how FAM works, and practice charts to help you get used to interpreting your data.
- One year of email support to help you use FAM effectively - checking charts, answering queries. Yes I know that's generous. It might change but it's how I like to work at the moment.
- Kit - charts and guides for you to print (some are available on my green days page). You need to buy your own thermometer. A standard fever thermometer like this with a memory and a quiet beep usually does the job. One decimal point is plenty, at least while you're learning.
Appointments are usually on Monday or Wednesday afternoon.
The session, email support and kit costs £85. Payment is made before our session, once a time is confirmed.
If you want to learn with a friend the cost is £120 for the same package for the two of you.
If you've been charting for a while and just want to check you're on track, you can book a 30 minute session with no follow up for £35.
Before you book, please read is FAM right for you?
