You want to hear something so wild to me now? During the 10 years I was on birth control (depo shot, pill, ring, and IUD), I still always worried about getting pregnant! This is because I had no clue how fertility, or my body, worked.
Confidence comes from understanding how your method of birth control actually works.
For example, if you use condoms, you can feel as confident as the effectiveness rates of condoms--about 98% with perfect use, or about 82% if you use them the way most couples do-- in the heat of the moment, including condom breakage, etc.
If you use Natural Cycles app, you can feel 93% confident that you won’t get pregnant, based on their own statistics. (However, as a certified fertility awareness educator, I have concerns / questions / curiosities about this percentage, since fertility is best determined by the presence of cervical fluid, and not by algorithms of when you have ovulated in your past cycles)
If you use the pill, it’s about 99.7% effective if you take it everyday-- you know it works because the synthetic hormones keep your brain from talking to your ovaries-- you are not ovulating. The way most women take it, lands it at about 91% typical effective rate.
With natural birth control (using the SymptoThermal fertility awareness method), I feel 99.6% confident that I will not get pregnant unintentionally. (99.6%* is the rate of effectiveness when using the method correctly. And typical user rate is 98.4% effective at preventing pregnancy- still a great rate!)
I feel more confident using fertility awareness as my birth control than I ever did using any other method. And, I've never had an unintended pregnancy in the nearly 10 years I've been using this method, with no worry, or scares. When I wanted to conceive, I did so naturally on my 2 cycle trying.
(The amazing thing about fertility awareness is that once you confidently know when you're fertile, you can use this info to avoid or achieve pregnancy, and make any health changes if needed in advance of trying to conceive as your fertility charts will show you hormonal imbalances, etc.)
I thoroughly understand the way my body and fertility works, and understand how cervical fluid is the # 1 fertility clue, and know how to use the basal body temperature to confirm ovulation, and never to use it as a way to predict when I’m fertile.
I have all the faith and confidence in myself now, and would love for you to have this, too!
If this is something you’d like to understand for yourself, and not rely on an app to tell you if you’re fertile or not, and to not feel like you need the latest FemTech gadget that’s being marketed to you like crazy!, then please, let me help you!
