Pregnancy & Parenting's Fertility Charting Message Board
What is fertility awareness? It simply means learning to read your body's special fertility signals. Becoming more conscious of your unique fertility cycle can help you, whether you are hoping to improve your chance of conceiving or would like to avoid conception. Becoming knowledgeable about your body's own rhythm also helps you to better predict the date of your next menstruation, can help you know early on if you are pregnant, and can alert you to possible unhealthy changes if you detect a deviation from your typical patterns.
