Today I am joined by a crowd favourite, the amazing Karinda, a naturopath & natural fertility educator to talk about natural contraception, an alternative to synthetic birth control & such a beautiful way to connect more with YOUR body & the magic she does for us. We cover: ✨ What is natural contraception & the fertility awareness method ✨ What our 'fertile window' (when we can get pregnant) actually is each cycle ✨ How to know if you have ovulated / are in your fertile window ✨ Physical symptoms & biomarkers of ovulation ✨ COOLEST FACT EVER!!! ✨ How to connect & get to know your body ✨ Changes in your basal body temperature throughout your cycle & what it means ✨ What to be mindful of with tracking apps especially if you DON’T want to conceive ✨ Tuning in to your body vs using apps ✨ Your invitation, especially if you are on the pill ✨ Effectiveness of this method preventing pregnancy (I bet it's higher than you think!)
