Brb while I cry over how beautiful my family is 🥲

Thank you to the moon and back .a.photography for these captured memories.

We’re one of those families that has less than a handful of pictures together so to have this many feels so incredibly special to me. 🥲

Just some simple reminders💖

It’s Monday and we all need a few reminders to get through it. Charting can be simple. Take your bbt, check for mucus and then chart it! 🎊

You got this! 💖

I promise it’s not gibberish 😘

You can chart your cycles effectively and I really try to make it the easiest process for you to learn how 💖

Let’s set the record straight!!

There’s some pretty outdated and incorrect information out there about FAM. Especially since it is not super mainstream yet, you may here these myths when learning about FAM.

Another reason to consider working with a FAM Educator (not just me!) to get the right and up to date facts/science behind the method.

Do you have any questions about FAM or comments about it that you aren’t sure are true? 💖🧐

Learning any new skill takes time, folks!
⁣
We don’t expect to be perfect guitar players the first time we play or a perfect driver when we first sit behind the wheel. Skills take time to learn and perfect, FAM being one of those skills. ⁣
⁣
The learning curve with FAM can be steep (thanks to our lacking reproductive health education) but it is one you can get more familiar with over time. ⁣
⁣
To make things easier, many FAM educators and users will use abbreviations. ⁣
⁣
What are some abbreviations you use or have seen? I’m sure I’m missing some good ones. 💖

I wish I knew this when I started my period⁣…
⁣
Maybe you had a conversation with an adult in your life about your period, the blood and what period products to use. ⁣
⁣
But rarely do we talk about ovulation when we have these period talks. Ovulation is what precedes true menstruation. Ovulation is accompanied by cervical mucus which we all experience but may have never spoken about. Cervical mucus tracking is a massive part of fertility awareness because it typically tells us when we are fertile. ⁣
⁣
Before I knew what cervical mucus was, I thought I was getting recurring yeast infections. I had no idea the cyclical pattern of mucus was telling me when I was ovulating and not that something was wrong. ⁣
⁣
I wish I’d known about the importance of cervical mucus earlier so it wouldn’t have been something I saw as dirty or gross. Cervical mucus is beautiful and essential for us to conceive. ⁣
⁣
Share to let others know that cervical mucus isn’t gross!! 💖🥰

Every partner has the ability to support you with your birth control use💖⁣
⁣
Within the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) there are so many ways that your partner can support you in the process. ⁣
⁣
Because FAM requires learning about your body and often forages a new connection to your body. ⁣
Your partner can support you in sooo many ways while learning the method and while you continue to use it!⁣
⁣
Please let me know in the comments:⁣
⁣
How has your partner supported you in practicing FAM?⁣
⁣

⁣
What support would you like to have from a partner while using FAM?

But don’t stress, I’ve got a waitlist!

I’m working with so many amazing people right now to help them understand and connect with their menstrual cycles.

Because I’m only one person, I can only take on so many folks at once. If you want to work together in the next few months, reach out to me and I can add you to the wait list OR recommend some amazing FAM Educators that can help you in the meantime.

Happy charting xx,
Joy❤️

What is the goal of Full Moon Fertility?⁣
⁣
When I first learned about a method of birth control that was highly effective, free and synthetic hormone free, I was blown away. ⁣
⁣
I had so many questions like:⁣
🌻Why had I only been taught about the Pill and condoms growing up?⁣
⁣
🌻Why wasn’t FAM mentioned as a birth control option from my doctor?⁣
⁣
🌻Why was I medically gaslit to think that the terrible symptoms I experienced on the pill were my only option?⁣
⁣
When I created Full Moon Fertility, I had a goal to continue to make FAM accessible. To all who want to learn. To all who are curious about if it would work for them. To those who hate their current birth control. To the those who feel like they have no options. ⁣
⁣
It feels surreal knowing that I am currently doing that. Client testimonials 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 bring tears to my eyes because I see the lives that are changed from the Fertility Awareness Method. And I am so privileged to help bring FAM to you. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to my amazing client Oriana for such beautiful words that had me crying. ❤️

Which fertile signs do you pay the most attention to?⁣
⁣
Cervical Mucus or Fluid is your day to day opportunity to interpret where you are in your cycle. Changes in cervical mucus can tell us when we are entering or leaving our fertile window. The consistency of the mucus changes as your hormones fluctuate. Thanks ✨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘯✨. CM should be your most important fertile sign as it is your window into what your menstrual cycle is doing!⁣
⁣
Basal Body Temperature is great for confirming when ovulation happens. When ovulation occurs, our bodies begin to produce progesterone which increases our temperature and even our metabolism in the luteal phase. (Fun fact: this is why you might feel hungrier in your luteal phase). BBT doesn’t allow us to know when our fertile window opens. Which again is why CM is so amazing!⁣
⁣
Finally, the cervix is a possible third fertile sign that many people don’t know about or track. The cervix changes from being hard to soft while you’re ovulating and moves higher or lower in the va**na! 🍩 ⁣
⁣
Have you tried tracking any of your fertile signs? Which is your favourite? 😍

Good FAM charting apps are hard to find…⁣
⁣
But I believe I’ve found the one that’s perfect for many FAM charters. ⁣
⁣
May I introduce you to:⁣
⁣
🌟Read Your Body🌟⁣
⁣
This app is fantastic and customizable for all your menstrual tracking needs. ⁣
⁣
When looking for a period tracking app you 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 want one that:⁣
🚫Predicts when you are fertile⁣
🚫Predicts when your period will be⁣
🚫Is expensive⁣
🚫Isn’t customizable⁣
🚫Doesn’t allow you to track cervical mucus⁣
🚫Doesn’t let you track intimacy⁣
⁣
This is why I love Read Your Body. ⁣
It’s:⁣
✅Affordable⁣
✅Customizable⁣
✅Doesn’t predict your cycle⁣
✅Can be used by different FAM methods⁣
✅Allows tracking of intimacy⁣
⁣
Have you tried this app? Will you? 😍

2022 is the year for not putting up with things that are no longer serving us!!⁣
⁣
This applies to everything including your birth control. ⁣
⁣
If you birth control is causing you symptoms that you don’t want, it might be time to consider a birth control that works better for you. ⁣
⁣
Obviously I’m all for Fertility Awareness because it’s:⁣
✔️Affordable⁣
✔️a life long skill⁣
✔️body literate⁣
✔️synthetic hormone-free⁣
✔️empowering⁣
✔️fun⁣
⁣
So with the new year upon us, if you birth control isn’t feeling good for you anymore then try something new 🥰

You know your body best!!⁣
⁣
Any app or thermometer that tells you when your fertile is not going to be nearly as accurate as deciding when you are fertile for yourself. ⁣
⁣
These apps and thermometers that predict your fertility based on only temperature are missing one big aspect of your daily fertility:⁣
⁣
🎉 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱 🎉⁣
⁣
Cervical fluid is the day to day fertile sign that we can easily learn how to look for. As we approach ovulation, cervical fluid will increase (maybe looking stretchy and clear like egg whites!) and can help us understand when we are in our fertile window and when pregnancy could occur. ⁣
⁣
Basal body temperature (BBT) is a great tool to 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 ovulation but it cannot predict ovulation. ⁣
⁣
Basal body temperature rises slightly following ovulation in response to the body producing progesterone. Why is this important to understand? The temperature only rises 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 ovulation has happened and it 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 let you know when ovulation is going to happen or is happening. ⁣
⁣
So by using an app to decide fertile days, you are trusting in an apps algorithm and not the signs your body is actually producing. ⁣
⁣
Did you know this about period predictor apps?⁣ Share with someone you feel would learn something from this post!
