Why use Fertility Awareness?

Growing up in modern American culture we learn very little about our bodies and how they work. As women we are often taught very little about our reproductive cycles and how our hormones affect our physical and emotional realities. My belief is that this information is vital in having a healthy relationship with oneself and with a sexual partner.
Fertility Awareness (FA) is one way of gaining insight into the beautiful and intricate ways of a woman. Knowing your body and watching the tides of your fertility is extremely rewarding and empowering.

Using the Fertility Awareness Method while in a relationship gives you the power of having your reproductive choices in your own hands; not relying on chemicals, devices, doctors or pharmaceutical companies. The FAM is a natural form of birth control that has no side effects. It allows you the opportunity to consciously choose when and if to be a parent.

FA can increase personal intimacy as you become more aware of your body and sexuality and can also increase the intimacy between partners as it takes away the artificial barriers between you and lessens the fear of unwanted conceptions.

Fertility Awareness education involves simple yet in-depth study of the woman's hormonal cycle. By watching your body's signals you can determine what hormones are out of balance and seek practitioners that can help you regain this balance. This can be extremely valuable when having trouble conceiving, or when dealing with reproductive illnesses.
