Fertility awareness is a method used to track a person's reproductive cycle to identify fertile and infertile days. This approach involves observing physical signs such as changes in cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and menstrual cycle patterns. By understanding these signs, individuals can make informed decisions about family planning and conception. This method can be beneficial for those trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy without using hormonal contraceptives. It promotes a deeper understanding of one's body and reproductive health. However, it requires careful monitoring and consistency to be effective, making education and practice essential for success.
