The Justisse Method of Fertility Awareness
The effectiveness of fertility awareness to help couples avoid pregnancy and monitor gynecological and reproductive health relies on the fact that all women can be taught to observe, chart and interpret the three primary signs of fertility: cervical mucus secretions, basal body temperature and cervical position. Women using the Justisse Method chart their fertility according to their own reliable signs so the method is effective despite variations in menstrual cycles amongst women.
*World Health Organization Endorses Natural Birth Control
According to the World Health Organization, 93% of women everywhere can identify the symptoms which distinguish adequately between the fertile and the infertile phases of the [menstrual] cycle…[Using fertility awareness for reproductive planning] is inexpensive, cost effective, without side effects …-- British Medical Journal. Vol. 307, 18 Sept. 1993
