| FAM (Fertility Awareness Method) is a natural form of contraceptive
that is 99% effective when used correctly. FAM is NOT the rhythm
method. It is very personal, and functions with the understanding that
NO woman's cycle is exactly the same. FAM consists of two major
observations: daily temperature, and daily cervical fluid. By noticing
the quality differences in cervical fluid throughout her cycle (sticky
to having an egg-white consistency), a woman can tell when she is most
fertile. By taking her temperature every morning at a consistent time,
having at least 3 hours of sleep, a woman can tell when she has
ovulated by observing a significant temperature "jump" in the second
half of her cycle in addition to noting her fertile cervical fluid.
FAM can be used to both avoid and achieve pregnancy. By actively paying
attention to her fertile period, a woman can either avoid pregnancy by
abstaining from sex or using a barrier method (condoms, spermicide,
cervical cap, etc...) during her fertile period, or achieve pregnancy
by having sex on her most fertile days. In addition to avoiding or
achieving pregnancy, women can use FAM to learn about their body, and
catch any "problems" before many health care providers would be able
to, simply by recognizing when something isn't normal for her (instead
of the "average" woman). A woman avoiding pregnancy should not have
unprotected sex using FAM until charting at least 3 cycles. The
Fertility Awareness Method is a great method for any woman or couple
interested in achieving or avoiding pregnancy without chemicals or
other "artificial" means.

will be offering two courses on FAM, one for newbies and one for those
already familiar with FAM. FAM101 covers charting basics and barriers.
FAM201 covers more advanced charting scenarios such as CF only, temps
only, TTC, post-partum, and lunaception.
The cost for both classes is $30 (combined). Students will need to take
FAM101 in order to take FAM201, except if they get waived by our Online
Course Admin.
The first five students to register will get a $10 discount. Please send me an e-mail at stephanie@christianfamilyplanning.net if you're interested or have any questions.

| Wow... It's been so long since my last entry. I've pretty much moved on to Facebook. I also started my own site in January. ENN Community - Home If you're female, and engaged or married, please come join the fun! | | |
| Nothing much to report that has changed. Still here, doing the same old thing. | | |
| Well... not a lot to report in the last three months. Facebook is where it's at for me right now. I quit my job at McD's in April, and then had a really rough two months at another fast food place. Now I'm working on my Medical Office Assistant Certificate and being a SAHWife. Life is pretty good! | | |
| Granpa passed away at 9:45ish PST last night. No news on when the memorial service will be held. If you want to express condolences to my mom, you can do so on her blog (gracefox.blogspot.com). | | |
