Fertility Awareness & Cycle Charting
Whether tracking the menstrual cycle for family planning purposes or overall health monitoring, don’t try to piece it together from online articles. I’m here to personally guide you through this process.
What We Offer
Fertility Awareness is sometimes also called Natural Family Planning (NFP). I teach you how to chart the biomarkers of your menstrual cycle to determine days of fertility and healthy hormonal patterns.
This is a personal topic, so I try to make it as approachable as possible. All sessions are structured as a combination of self-paced videos, a 1-on-1 virtual meeting with Emily, and same-day replies for questions as you learn.
-
For anyone wanting to learn how to chart the observable biomarkers of the menstrual cycle - young women, engaged couples, women coming off of hormonal contraception, or single women looking to have greater health insight. Emily teaches the Marquette Method, which utilizes the Clearblue Fertility Monitor.
-
For women who are exclusively breastfeeding, the return of fertility can be delayed and difficult to navigate. Cue the Marquette Method postpartum protocols with 98% perfect use and 92% typical use effectiveness rates. Women will use the Clearblue Fertility Monitor.
-
For women in perimenopause, we use a different monitor called Mira. This gives quantitative hormone levels. We apply provisional protocols to this data to determine days of fertility. Clients will receive a 45% discount code from Emily to purchase Mira supplies.
-
After your initial 6-months of working with Emily, women may renew for continued support. Renewal fee: $60 for 12 months ($5/month).
What is The Marquette Method?
The Marquette Method of Natural Family Planning is an evidence-based way to avoid or achieve pregnancy naturally. Women can learn which days of the cycle are fertile by tracking biomarkers, and knowing this information allows you to plan accordingly. No hormones, no devices, just biology.
Combining years of research published in peer-reviewed studies, the Marquette Method boasts effectiveness rates of 98.4% perfect use and 98% typical use. (The typical use effectiveness rate of oral contraceptives is 93%.)
The difference with Marquette is the utilization of a fertility monitor to test urinary hormone levels. Most women use the Clearblue Fertility Monitor, which measures metabolites of estrogen and LH in the urine. Other women may choose to use the Mira monitor, which can also measure metabolites of progesterone and FSH. This objective, real-time data gives women confidence in identifying normal patters, as well as inevitable variations in the cycle.
Testing supplies may be purchased using HSA/FSA funds.
