The use of fertility awareness as a means of birth control is accepted by most religions and ethnic groups. There are three basic fertility awareness methods. Basal Body Temperature - the female's temperature is taken every morning and charted. A change shows that ovulation has probably occurred. The detection of mucous patterns predict the possible occurrence of ovulation.
Fertility awareness requires full understanding and cooperation of both partners.
Fertility awareness alone is not a good method for someone who could not tolerate an unplanned pregnancy. Any couple who are highly motivated, and are willing and able to observe and record body changes. Health educators are available for information and individual or couple instruction.
