Physicians, Nursing Professionals, Midwives, PAs, Fertility Educators ~ if you want to expand your knowledge of fertility awareness and restorative reproductive medicine

Did you know each of the following patients may benefit from using a fertility awareness based method or FABM?

14 year old girl concerned about irregular cycles and monthly discharge. She has never been sexually active.

22 year old woman committed to living a healthier lifestyle. She does not want to use synthetic hormones. She has had two sexual partners, was treated for a sexually transmitted infection two years ago, and has not been sexually active for the past six months.

28 year old woman with weight gain and longer cycles over the last 15 months. She wishes to postpone pregnancy.

34 year old married woman, previously on oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) for 10 years to control painful periods. She has premenstrual symptoms and discontinued OCPs 18 months ago in hopes of achieving pregnancy.

Natural or fertility awareness based methods not only help women achieve and prevent pregnancy, but they also allow them to monitor their health and work with Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) trained physicians to manage common women’s health concerns. The benefits of these methods are many and include increased knowledge and self-awareness, improved partner communication and more. They are also safe and effective for family planning, as well as relatively inexpensive to use.
