Fertility awareness is about being aware of when you are fertile and when you are not. You can use this information to avoid pregnancy, achieve pregnancy, or monitor your gynecological health.


The Fertility Awareness Method is a specific set of scientific principles used to measure and track your two primary fertility signs:

Thermometer

Basal Body Temp


The temperature in your mouth when you wake up in the morning. It tells you when progesterone has kicked in, signaling that ovulation has occurred.

And
Hourglass

Cervical Fluid


Cervical Fluid is a vaginal secretion. It changes in viscosity through the course of your cycle and tells you when your estrogen level is rising, indicating impending ovulation.

BBT and Cervical Fluid tell you about the hormone levels in your body. To understand how the primary fertility signs relate to an average 28 day menstrual cycle, hover over the graph below:
