Description

Learn to mange your fertility

In this session, you are taught the principles of FEMM Family Planning. The session includes a review of male and female reproductive physiology, the dominant reproductive hormones, and the key stages in and differences between male and female fertility throughout reproductive life. With regard to family planning, the key event in a woman’s cycle is ovulation, and so you learn to relate cycle biomarkers to ovulation and a woman’s fertility. Primary biomarkers are estrogenic cervical fluid and the surge of the luteinizing hormone (LH) just prior to ovulation. You apply this knowledge to identifying ovulation and fertility in variable cycle types. Exercises, Q&A, handouts and case studies accompany this session. This session can run 1 – 2 hours and also includes a full chart review. Session 3 is scheduled three to four weeks after Session 2 with a check-in at two weeks or sooner as needed.
