FFP 165 | What is Fertility Awareness? | Lisa | Fertility Friday

In this solo episode, I dive into the basics and talk about what fertility awareness actually is. I go into the basics of using fertility awareness for birth control or to optimize conception, and how fertility awareness can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify underlying health issues. I wanted to do an updated version of my very first podcast episode (What is Fertility Awareness?) that I initially recorded over 3 years ago!
