The basic practice of charting your menstrual cycle is one of the foundations of the fertility awareness method. Charting is a way in which you can begin to take note each day of your cycle, and it brings an awareness to your day of what energy the cycle day is bringing to YOUR day. It also helps you keep track of your fertility biomarkers, such as cervical mucus and basal body temperature, so you can identify your fertile window and use the method to track your fertile window, for effective hormone free birth control or to get conceive easily.

Hormonal healing with fertility awareness

One of the biggest questions that come up for people considering using FAM for birth control is if they can use FAM with irregular cycles. The short answer is yes! There are many factors to consider, as well as why your cycles might be irregular, which is a bit tricker to figure out. This is why I encourage women to learn about their cycles and advocate for their own health.
