Fertility Awareness can help you achieve and maintain pregnancy in a number of ways. By charting your cycle, you can tell if you are ovulating on a regular basis, and identify your fertile days so that intercourse can be timed optimally. It can also reveal some common impediments to achieving pregnancy, such as a short luteal phase, insufficient fertile cervical fluid, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). If you do become pregnant, your chart will tell you. Normally, your temperature will drop and your period will come 12-16 days after ovulation. If your temperature stays up for 18 day or more, you are almost certainly pregnant.

Our workshops cover both pregnancy achievement as well as pregnancy avoidance. If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, you may wish to attend one of our regular workshops or, depending on how much knowledge you already have about your cycle and especially if you've been trying for a while, you may wish to come in for a private consultation. For guidance as to which is more appropriate for you, please give us a call. Please note that we do not do any kind of clinical testing and we are not infertility specialists.

If you are planning to have a child (or if you are already pregnant), we have lots of connections in the pregnancy/birthing/baby community, some of which are listed in our links & resources area. We hope to share many more with you soon.
