ah that canon moment when you come off birth control for the first time since you were a literal teenager and realize you have nooooo idea how your body works… I can guarantee that you are in two camps: 1. you are thinking of conceiving in the next couple of years and want your cycle to regulate

I've successfully used fertility awareness as birth control for six years, and I still remember what an absolute mind f*ck it was to go from trusting the pill... to trusting my own body. When I first came off hormonal birth control, I knew two things: → I didn't want to be on the pill anymor

I swear... every time I fall down another women's health rabbit hole, I end up asking myself the same question: How much did patriarchal ideas shape the science we have today? For example: For centuries, women were taught that menstrual blood was dirty, impure, disgusting and something to hid

because newsflash!! You can believe in reproductive rights and access to birth control and still decide that fertility awareness is the right choice for YOUR body. Annnddd lucky for you, you’ve found a community of women who practice FAM from an evidence based, secular approach. On this page,

I’ve also been teaching women how to chart ovulation for birth control (FAM) with a 100% success rate for four years and here are some things that genuinely surprise people: 1. pregnancy is only really possible for 5-6 days per cycle aka your fertile window… but if you’re not using fertility aw

I can’t be the only one who learned to put a condom on a banana BEFORE I learned that my cycle was more than just my period… is that normal?! Who else had the same experience!? TOO many of us were left to figure out our menstual health on our own, which is exactly why @hellomiracare’s new campai

There is this really weird stage of life that nobody prepares you for... You're in a loving relationship, maybe you're recently married, and you're ready to come off hormonal birth control because you want to understand your body, let your cycle regulate BUT you are also definitely NOT ready for

Can we talk about the fact that thousands of women got their periods twice or skipped their period twice in June!??! I have thoughts: Is it a global conspiracy / phenomenon caused by frequency changes, the stars or a government attack…. or or just…. normal cycle variation and confirmation bias and

Girl to girl... if you want to use your cycle as birth control, here are some hard truths you need to hear: → Tracking your cycle isn’t the same thing as using a fertility awareness method. A shocking number of people think they’re using FAM when they’re really just collecting data. → If you’

Psssssst: the stuff in your underwear tells you a whole lot more about when you’re ovulating than your period tracker… SORRY NOT SORRY!! Cervical mucus = the goat because it is the only biomarker that actually opens your fertile window. It is your body's real-time fertility sign, constantly c

The rhythm method is not the same thing as charting your cycle + observing your fertile signs!! I swear.. if I had a nickel every time someone said “I got pregnant using FAM because I ovulated late” or “this only works if you have perfect cycles” … I’d have a lot of nickels to buy a new basal

let me spill the tea: 1. I never relied on a period tracker’s algorithm to tell me when I was fertile or not. They are historically inaccurate and instead tracked my own ovulation signs. 2. Instead of tracking ovulation, I CHART ovulation using an evidence based fam method. Tracking is fine f

hey bestie I know you are trying to NOT get pregnant without being on birth control, but I’m low key scared for you!!! If you want to avoid pregnancy, you can’t just be doing things Willy nilly- YOU NEED A FAM METHOD. - checking an app isn’t a method. Most predictive apps are horribly incorre

tracking your cycle or using the calendar method is NOT the same thing as using a symptothermal fertility awareness method. Just because you are tracking your cycle does NOT mean you are practicing FAM for birth control. EVEN if you’re tracking mucus and bbt… does not mean you are using FAM

“I can tell when I'm ovulating” … mmmm it’s more complex that that! And I get why this one feels true. Your body is responding to hormone shifts in real time → your mucus changes, your energy might go up, you might feel more confident, maybe even feel ovulation pain but none of that actually tel

not to brag but I can’t remember the last time I had a late period, and it has NOTHING to do with my cycle being regular. No matter if I have a 25 or 38 day cycle - I know exactly when my period is going to come because I track ovulation. Once you ovulate, your period comes 10-16 days later. So

heyyyyyy so testosterone levels are not at their highest during our period and we aren’t “acting like men” - I know we all want a lil micro act of feminism but this one is NOT it because it is quite literally misinformation 🫠

and it IS that serious. Even medical textbooks continue to overlook cervical mucus’ role in reproduction which continues to perpetuate the gendered idea that sp3rm are active soldiers and our bodies are passive. The female reproductive system is incredibly complex and intelligent and we need to
