femm

session description & requirements

Would you like a deeper dive into your hormonal and reproductive health? Would you like to learn a form of natural family planning for trying to avoid or trying to conceive a pregnancy? Would you like to understand what's going on in your cycles each month? FEMM (FERTILITY EDUCATION & MEDICAL MANAGEMENT) is an education and prevention based reproductive health program for women at any stage in their reproductive continuum. In the FEMM course you will learn to: * Track and Chart Your Cycle * Understand Your Body * Monitor Your Health * Manage Your Fertility Naturally As your FEMM teacher, I will provide you with health and fertility education: basic anatomy, physiology, ovulation as a sign of health, cycle variations, and understanding and managing your fertility. We will meet virtually for three lessons each 4 weeks apart: Lesson 1: Intro + FEMM + Your Health Lesson 2: FEMM Expert Lesson 3: Family Planning (If you're married, your husband should attend this session with you.) We will chart your cycles together for a minimum of three full cycles and I will provide any necessary follow-up or consultations. Additionally, as your FEMM teacher, if we see two consecutive abnormal cycles or three in one year, I can refer you to a provider in Medical Management. Email me for more info or an amplified description of each lesson. Requirements: * Be a female who is 18 years or older. * Stop hormonal birth control immediately. * Cannot have any IUD or hormonal implant. * Be willing to test LH in cycles 2 and 3. * Have internet access on a phone, tablet or computer to attend the Google Meet classes virtually * Attend all 3 classes. * Chart daily on paper and an app for a minimum of three full cycles. (I will offer a teenFEMM course in the future and will announce dates for that later.)
