FAM (Sympto-Thermal Method), is one of nearly twenty different types of methods defined as \u201cnatural.\u201d Not all natural methods are equal. FAM is an evidence-based system of fertility management that involves the daily observation<\/span><\/span> of three primary fertility signs or biomarkers, in addition to secondary fertility signs. When charting these biomarkers, one can easily identify their fertile and infertile days.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nThe \u2018rhythm\u2019 or \u201ccalendar\u201d method is an unreliable method because it is based on a <\/span>calculation<\/span><\/span> that uses the length of <\/span>previous<\/span><\/span> menstrual cycles for the purpose of <\/span>predicting<\/span><\/span> current cycles and fertile days.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nCalculation methods (often found in fertility apps and devices) are not accurate enough to rely on because menstrual cycles do not behave with swiss-clock precision.\u00a0 Ovulation and hormonal regularity can be affected by common occurrences\u00a0 such as drinking alcohol, travel, illness, stress, poor sleep, medications and more. Statistically, the rhythm method is considered 75% effective while FAM can reach\u00a0 95% efficacy when learned and used correctly.<\/span>\n\nLearn more about FAM and other fertility awareness-based methods.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

FAM is the only method of contraception that divides the menstrual cycle into three separate phases of infertile and fertile days. Pregnancy is only possible during a 3-5 day window. On average, contraceptive protection is only necessary for up to a week out of a typical four week cycle.\u00a0 FAM does not require abstinence.\u00a0 FAM does require the use of two, simultaneous back-up methods during the fertile days, e.g. a combination of <\/span>spermicides and barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms.<\/span><\/a> This is a couple\u2019s choice to make. FAM reduces dependence on these other methods, as they are only necessary to use on the fertile days.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
