I’m not currently trying to get pregnant, so why do I care when I’m ovulating?  Why would I bother charting and tracking my fertile signs when I have no intention of conceiving? Your fertility is so much more than making babies. It’s about eliminating the need for artificial hormones that have their own set of side effects, and relying on your own body to tell you everything you need to know to avoid pregnancy with a natural method of birth control that’s equally as effective as the pill! You can use your observations and your symptoms to address underlying health issues before they show up as other more serious symptoms in your body. You can take your chart to a healthcare professional and figure out what your body needs to rebalance your hormones and regulate your periods. And finally, you can use this knowledge at every stage of life – birth control, pregnancy, post-partum and while breastfeeding all the way through until menopause.  The best part? You only have to learn it once! Here’s What We’re Talking About:Charting for natural birth controlHow charting can give you valuable information about your health How you can use your knowledge and skills for your lifetime ________________ Read the show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources HEREDM Rachel on Instagram: @fertilitycoSupport the showWhenever you're ready, here's a few ways I can help you!
