Introduction to Fertility Awareness

Fertility awareness is a method of understanding and tracking the menstrual cycle to achieve effective birth control or conception. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the fertile and infertile phases of the cycle, empowering individuals to take control of their reproductive health. Both male and female partners need to be educated about fertility, as the responsibility does not solely rest on those who can become pregnant. This awareness is crucial for both trying to conceive and avoiding unintended pregnancies.
