Natural Fertility Management Theory and Practice in Stroud, UK

Are you keen to enjoy menstrual cycle awareness while practicing effective natural contraception?

At this workshop you will be introduced to the fertility awareness methods of Natural Fertility Management and receive all the information and materials you will need to use these methods successfully.

Natural Fertility Management can be used by all women, whether or not their cycles are regular, and at any stage of their fertile life. You are only fertile for a few days each cycle. Once you have learnt to identify these days you will be free to have unprotected intercourse at all other times in your cycle (if infection is not a concern). All that is required is motivation, a few minutes a day during the learning period and a healthy curiosity about your own body.

In this workshop Jane draws on 30 years of research, writing, counselling and teaching in the field of natural fertility management and holistic contraception. Together we will explore:

• The cervical mucus and temperature methods of fertility awareness
• The lunar biorhythmic cycle and it’s relationship with human fertility
• Secondary signs of fertility
• Charting and interpretation of the signs of fertility to determine infertile, possibly fertile and fertile times during the menstrual cycle
• Backup contraception for fertile and possibly fertile times How to overcome fear and gain confidence in your ability to  read and interpret your body’s signs of fertility, without risking an unplanned pregnancy
• Communication  about and sharing responsibility for contraception and fertility awareness in your relationship: challenges and opportunities for enrichment 
• Understanding and making the most of contraceptive effectiveness rates 
• Common myths and truths about hormonal, barrier and fertility awareness methods
• How to celebrate your fertility and honour your menstrual cycle while practicing effective natural fertility management!
