9. Your 3 Main Fertile Signs - every woman needs to know.

In this episode I'm going to talk you through your 3 main fertile signs - something every woman should know about! Unfortunately we are not taught this as part of health education in a way that should really form the basic basis of our understanding and knowledge of our menstrual cycle. If you're wanting to understand the incredible intricacies of your body, this episode is for you. Whether it's for the means of conception, contraception or wanting to connect more with your body, you will only gain from knowing your body in this way.

Topics I discuss in this episode:

Your 3 main fertile signs are:

- indications/communication from your body

- communicating when you ovulate

- not commonly known by most women - even though it's happening to us month in and month out

Why is it important?

Common reasons why women start to find out about when ovulation is...and then consequently, the Fertility Awareness Method are:

• to have a baby
• for contraception
• to understand your body

Whatever your reason, knowing when you ovulate is absolutely essential.

Benefits of Fertility Awareness and knowing when you ovulate:

• achieving pregnancy
• effectively avoiding pregnancy
• getting insight in to your health
• gaining a deeper connection to your body

Had I known about Fertility Awareness I may have made different choices re contraception when I was younger.

Your awareness of these 3 fertile signs is invaluable and supports in so many ways:

• I have avoided further invasive investigations because I knew when I had ovulated - could pass this on to specialist
• There are countless stories of women avoiding unnecessary treatments because of their knowledge.

So what are the 3 main signs?!

#1 - Cervical Mucus

#2 - Basal Body Temperature

#3 - Cervical Position

There is much more detail involved when wanting to use Fertility Awareness as a method but this give you an introduction in to your 3 main fertile signs - or what we could also say are the 3 main signs of ovulation.
