Important fact's which FAM is based on point out how there is a steady structure to our menstrual-ovulating cycle.

How do you know for sure when you've ovulated? How can you predict your upcoming period?

Our hormones change from day to day affecting our cycle, our brain and the way we think and function.

Let's get to know the actors and each of their rolls in the play.

Here's a story that will help you remember what's happening in your body in each phase of your cycle.

Now let's see all the above hormones come together in a graph to make it more clear.

Alongside the three primary fertility signs which FAM is based on, there are secondary signs as well.

In order to get to know your personal patterns better, it's recommended that you track your own secondary signs.

This is the - chart

Choose the one that suits your needs according to the type of thermometer you got.

Step by step guidance how to fill out the chart

The first sign our method is based on.

in order to take your basal body temperature, you need an accurate thermometer.

for the best basal thermometer I know look for - NEXCARE (BD)

on amazon , e-bay and so on

Why we need to track our BBT?

How to fill up the chart for the first time?

Now we learn how to track the signs , later on we will learn how to analyze the measurements

Taking your temperature might bring up some questions

on which i start answer here

It's important to take your temperature in a consistent and right way

The second sign , is the cervical secretions. what each woman sees on her underwear ,almost every day.

How to find and tell the difference between the secretions.

The non fertile secretions functions as a spermicide , therefore you cannot conceive during the days with the non fertile secretion

Its important to print the empty comparison chart , ad right the words together with me in order to assimilate better.

Farther on , while describing the secretions you got you could use that chart

On which days you might notice a non fertile secretion?

From the non fertile secretion we will skip to the very fertile secretion .

The very fertile secretion takes place very near and during ovulation. that is the time on which you produce the conditions to conceive easily

Now we will go over the words you can use to describe the very fertile secretion. It's recommended to write the words with me

Now we will talk about the fertile secretion. actually it's not the most fertile secretion you might find. but indeed its fertile.

When you notice that kind of secretion its a good time to have intercourse in order to conceive.

If your goal is to prevent pregnancy- remember-

While studying the method you must use other non hormonal contraceptive methods, until you learn the rules of FAM , fill up few charts and gain enough confidence, to rely on the method

The fertile secretion can be confusing. with more practice and experience you will learn how to tell how it appears in your body. It might vary for each woman

In some days you might not see any secretion at all

Going over the dry days qualities

Before starting the tracking, It's important to know how to do it right

Every chart is different and thereforeI'm here to give you a personal feedback on your chart

Its important to understand the reason for our actions and not just do it.

This is what i encourage you to ask me questions

There are few ways to find the secretion and look at it

The most important rule of the method-

If you are not sure. consider your self - FERTILE

What is the internal check and why we should use it?

Check out the handout and the photo explaining how to do it

What if you dont want to do an internal check?

Women the their relationship with their body

The internal check might provoke all kind of feeling it's recommended to pay attention to

A short review on the secretion types and how to write them in the chart

Just want to mention a commun situation you might experience

here you can see photos of one whole cycle which can give you an example of how the secretions pattern may look like. each woman is unique

The cervix is our third sign. now we will just get to know it in general. On the second part of the course we will get to know it deeply.

Tracking the cervix is important for those of you who wish to identify the non fertile days before the fertility window.

If your goal is to achieve pregnancy or only to identify the non fertile days after ovulation. you don't have to check it.

Mean while you can check out that video while paying attention to the cervix , and how it dilates

I want you to know the speculum. The great fear of the gynecological examination is cuased by that tool

I already mentioned that the tracking allows you to know much more than when you are fertile and when you are not.

Tracking can be useful in many ways

A lot of women tend to learn FAM , just as they stop using the birth control pill.

If you wish to conceive , this is the time to start tracking and aiming to have intercourse during your fertile days.

Check the last videos of that part of the course , referring to pregnancy

During the fertile days you need to use other non hormonal birth control methods . And so do now until you could rely on the method to prevent pregnancy.

It's one of the questions i've been asked a lot

The first question women ask me is - what is the efficacy of FAM?

you are wellcome to check out that link:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/09/14/sunday-review/unplanned-pregnancies.html?WT.mc_id=2015-MAY-KWP-INTL_AUD_DEV-0503-0531&WT.mc_ev=click&ad-keywords=IntlAudDev&kwp_0=15295&_r=1

we must take those factors into considartion if we wish to create the highest efficacy

During your fertile days you can chose how you wish to act. its important to find the most suitable way for you

There is no "wrong" choise , its important to chose your contraceptive method whis suits the best for your needs , values and life style

So here you beggin you own privet research into your own body

Yes , you can do some sagnificant actions to increase your fertiltiy

Yes , you can do some sagnificant actions to increase your fertiltiy

After tracking your sign for at least 3-4 weeks , this is the time to continue

On that video i remind us what we've learend so far and what we are going to learn

Why do we need another sign ?

The cervix changes during the cycel under the influence of the hormones , showing us when the fertility window is opening

Its possible to check the cervix in few diffrent positions , you should chose your favorite position and stick with it

In the chart you can find two row dedicated to the cervix. one is for writing weather its soft or firm and the second one is to indicate weather its high/low and close/open

The most important thing while tracking the cervix is to be cosistant

you can start checking it after your menstruation ( or few days after if you have long cycles) and continue after the closing of the window ( which you will soon learn to identify)

While checking the cervix you can notice abnormalities

and keep your health

Now we will learn how to identify the closing of the window. that way we can tell when are our non-fertile days after ovulation

later on , in part 3 we will learn how to identify the non fertile days before the fertility window

When Miss progesterone is on board she is rising the temperture and that is our first sign , showing us the fertility window is closed. Now we will learn who to make sure the rise we see is the one we are looking for

What if i got fever? How do i chart and analayze the chart then?

What if i got a missing meajurment or unusual meajurment when I go back to find 4 low meajurments before the rise

Miss progesteron dries up the secretion showing us the window is closing

what are the rules helping us make sure the window is closed?

Miss progesteron closes the cervix, makes it low and hard showing us the window is closing

what are the rules helping us make sure the window is closed?

Why do we need to wait 4 days after the peak days and 3 high days of temperture? Why do we need all that ?

Well now you are probably overflowing with information. So this is a great time to go over tha charts and see how it all comes together

Now look at your chart and see if you can analize it the way we did so far

After completing 6 charts or only 4 (if i told you its enough)

and you feel the method isclear to you

this is the time to move on to the third part and learn whats going on the fullicular phase (before the opening of the window)

Being experienced with tracking the secretions and cervix you can identify the window opening

The first rule - THE DRT DAY RULE

THE 5 DAYS RULE - If your cycles exceed 26 days

The 21 rule - If your cycles exceed 26 days

After completing 6 chart youcan summerize them with the summery chart

You can chart only part of your cycle or all of it , chose your way

You did it !!!
