Fertility Awareness Methods

Written By Brickhouse Creative

Fertility awareness methods, commonly known as natural family planning, are when the person with a uterus tracks their menstrual cycle to determine the days that they can get pregnant. Sex is then avoided on fertile days. You ovulate about 12 to 14 days before the start of a new menstrual cycle. Your fertile window is the five days leading up to ovulation, plus the day of ovulation and the day after ovulation — so about seven days in total.
