This course is based on the FEMM protocol, which incorporates cervical mucus and LH testing. I have also included a BBT protocol based on my training with SymptoPro. Finally, I explain how to use PdG (a progesterone metabolite) if that is another sign you want to incorporate. PdG is not an official protocol supported by the fertility awareness programs through which I am certified, but rather something I have done a lot of research on.
The short answer to the question is yes, you can take this course, but here’s the longer answer. Hormonal contraceptives block the natural hormonal patterns in your system. Therefore, the information in this course will be helpful, but you won't be able to apply it to your own cycle for interpretation.
Yes. While it is more challenging to chart your cycle when it's irregular, it's definitely possible to use this information. Depending on how irregular your cycles are, this could help you discover root cause concerns that need to be addressed in order to restore normal physiological function in your reproductive system.
Yes! There is an entire module dedicated to using the method postpartum, whether you are breastfeeding or not. Plus the support you get from me will be invaluable to you during this tricky time of fertility.
