We wanted to share about two FABM training opportunities available now for those wanting to learn how to teach the Billings method of fertility awareness. Keep reading for more information about how to get this training if you are a physician or a medical student!
What is the Billings Ovulation Method?
It is the simplest form of Fertility Awareness Based Methods. It uses observations of tangible body markers for women to chart and keep track of their fertility. The method uses the findings of the research done by Dr. Erik Odeblad and Drs. John and Evelyn Billings to measure the certainty of specific biomarkers and their correlation to hormone levels.
What are the benefits?
- Helps women understand their bodies
- Helps to identify possible causes of infertility
- General health education
- Effective form of family planning
- Ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal body signs
- Observing early signs of disease
