Some of the most common stuff I hear? Ugh, I need to lose weight. You look perfect. Look at me! I’m so stupid, I can’t believe I did that. And things I never hear? Man I look hot in this dress I am so proud of myself for doing X I sleep for 9 hours… Read More
What you need to know if you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility
It all started after I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and decided I had the most fertile type of cervical fluid from day 6 of my cycle onward. Then I started having friends asking me about things that they read in it that they didn’t understand (while I was in my certification program to… Read More
There’s an app for that [natural birth control style]
I think we are basically accustomed to having an app for everything by now. I actually don’t even have a smart phone (I know, what the hell, right?) and have come up with plenty of my own app ideas. Just a couple of weeks ago I was daydreaming about this perfect app for spacing out… Read More
What’s a typical day like when using fertility awareness?
Does it surprise you to hear that, other than the fact that my business is dedicated to teaching the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness, I actually give very little thought to charting each day? I probably spend 2 minutes, tops, charting my cycle while I am fertile (about 9 days or so for me) and… Read More
The surprising signs from your body that can produce an effective natural birth control method
Women are only fertile for part of their cycle. You may have been taught otherwise as a teen, but it’s true. We only ovulate once per cycle and the egg only lives for 12-24 hours. Does that surprise you? If the egg is only alive for 12-24 hours, how does anyone get pregnant, right? But… Read More

Can you get pregnant from period sex?
The fact that you are even asking this question is good in one way: You know that you are not fertile for your entire cycle. Hooray!

Appreciating menstruation: An interview with Alexandra Pope
Today I have an interview with Alexandra Pope of Red School. The interview is a little longer than a normal blog post, but has a bunch of stuff you don’t want to miss, like: How the menstrual cycle is the best self-care tool you could ask for Why body literacy is as vital as (just… Read More
Falling in Love With my Fertility: Cassie’s story
This is the first guest post in a series of guest posts relaying different women’s personal stories about their decision to use and journey using the fertility awareness method.

The best herbs for hormonal health and fertility
Herbs can be a tricky thing to navigate. On one hand, they are supposed to be pretty benign, right? But on the other hand, they can be some massively powerful drugs. I like to use herbs sometimes, but since I don’t have a huge depth of knowledge about them I only use what are considered… Read More
