    The document discusses the fertility awareness method (FAM), a natural method to achieve or avoid pregnancy without drugs or hormones. FAM relies on observing changes in basal body temperature and cervical fluid to identify the fertile window each month. It has a use effectiveness of up to 90% for birth control, similar to male condoms. Because FAM accurately determines the fertile window, it can help couples get pregnant within 2-3 months instead of the average of 6 months. The method is explained in more detail on Toni Weschler's website about taking charge of your fertility.

    What is the Fertility Awareness Method?


    Taking Charge of Your Fertility Software has not been cleared for use in the United States as a
    method of birth control. It is intended to be used for pregnancy achievement purposes
    only. While this discussion mentions FAM as a method of birth control, it is intended only as
    background information on the method itself, it does not describe features of the software.

    In Short: The fertility awareness method is a natural method of pregnancy achievement that
    requires no drugs or hormones. It relies on various body signs to identify a woman's fertile
    period and to estimate her day of ovulation. Because of its ability to accurately identify days of
    high fertility, it is also effective in helping couples achieve pregnancy.

    The fertility awareness method (FAM) was originally established as a scientific and medically
    based method of natural birth control that relied on signs from a woman's body to indicate when
    she was fertile. It is not, and never has been, the "rhythm" or "calendar rhythm" method.

    All birth control methods are evaluated based upon their use- and method-
    effectiveness. Method-effectiveness assumes "perfect use" and isn't quoted here because it only
    serves to confuse. For comparison's sake, the birth control pill has a use effectiveness of
    97%. FAM, on the other hand, has a use-effectiveness of up to 90%, which is about the same as
    that of the male condom. What this 90% use-effectiveness figure means is that 1 out of 10
    women who use this as their only method of birth control will experience an unintended
    pregnancy during the course of a year. If you were to use it as your only form of birth control for
    10 years, you could expect one unintended pregnancy.

    Because FAM can accurately identify days of highest fertility, increasing numbers of couples
    seeking pregnancy have also used it.

    An Introduction to the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM)


    The Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) is a natural method of determining whether a woman is
    fertile or infertile by observing simple body signs and applying a few rules of interpretation.

    FAM has been used for over 30 years as a natural method of birth control by hundreds of
    thousands of couples around the world. With the Internet, its practice has spread even more
    quickly among those trying-to-conceive, since it pinpoints when a woman is most fertile, when
    ovulation has most likely occurred, and when you might be pregnant. Because of its efficacy in
    identifying fertility, FAM can reduce the time it takes to successfully conceive from an average
    of 6 months to 2-3 months.

    FAM is based upon the fact that certain simple body signs change with changes in a woman's
    menstrual cycle. Specifically, waking temperature (also referred to as basal body temperature)
    and cervical fluid (also referred to as cervical mucus) change predictably and identifiably with
    changes in the hormonal cycle that accompanies ovulation during each cycle. Users of Taking
    Charge of Your Fertility Software simply observe and record these changes and the software
    then analyzes them to determine your fertility, to estimate your date of ovulation, and to
    determine if you might be pregnant.
