Course Overview

A woman’s cycle is a carefully orchestrated series of internal hormonal changes which produce observable external signs or biomarkers that women can learn to chart to better monitor her reproductive health. Charts of the female cycle can reveal a normally functioning reproductive health system or one that may be affected by stress, illness or other factors, serving as a valuable “5th vital sign.” We will discuss the science behind fertility charting and review a variety of charts, including apps, indicating a woman’s health status, possible differential diagnoses and potential management options based on what the chart shows.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

Define FABMs, and the signs or biomarkers of the female cycle that women may learn to reliably observe and chart
Outline the normal parameters of the cycle, including the peak day and methods women may use to chart their cycles
Describe the hormonal events of the female cycle that result in the observable physiologic biomarkers
Review a sample of female cycle charts that may indicate potential underlying health issues
State other opportunities to learn how to address women’s health issues using fertility charts
