The specific behaviours that we will assess are condom use and intercourse patterns during the fertile and infertile phases of the cycle. We will also determine if couples who have fertility awareness education have unprotected intercourse at times when they are relatively less fertile in comparison with those who do not. After recruitment to the study, the couples charted, for four cycles, when they had intercourse and whether or not they used a condom. Couples were followed up for a further four cycles, during which time they continued to chart. Baseline and follow-up levels of fertility awareness were assessed in both groups.
Analysis is in progress.
