Fertility Awareness Methods have come a long way from your great grandma’s rhythm method. As Grace puts it, comparing today’s Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) to the antiquated rhythm method is like comparing Jerry Seinfeld’s car phone to the smart phone you are probably listening to this podcast on. Who first discovered that basal body temperature rises after ovulation? Who put together the pieces of cervical fluid patterns? How did the various methods of fertility charting come to be? We talk about all of that and more in this episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast!
In addition to the history of fertility and reproductive science, in this episode (Season 1 / Episode 5) we dive into who the masterminds behind modern fertility awareness methods are, and what modern femtech has to offer to women today. You can also find out about the “fertility museum” Cassondra’s got accumulating in her house….
