FACTS About Fertility for You and Your Patients

Reproductive Life Planning and Resources for You and Your Patients

This session will introduce the concept of reproductive life planning, address the role of female cycle tracking and restorative reproductive medicine, and discuss the impact of lifestyle and its effect on women’s health. Since the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recognizes the menstrual cycle as the fifth vital sign, we will demonstrate how the cycle chart aids in monitoring and managing women’s health. FACTS leaders will equip colleagues with patient education resources, including an evidence-based shared decision-making tool, as well as resources for Spanish speaking and underserved populations. We will also highlight opportunities for students, residents and physicians to expand their knowledge.
