The advantages of charting and observing fertility signs

Charting temperature and fertility signs is an extremely useful tool if you are trying to conceive, gender sway or avoid conception. It provides a woman with an enormous amount of fundamental information about her body and teaches awareness of fertility signs.

Cycle charting enables us to see patterns that occur in your monthly cycle. As you line up your symptoms on each day you will see clear patterns of what is happening in the crucial days preceding ovulation.
Charting and observign fertility signs can identify:
*If you are ovulating
*When you are fertile
*Which days would be best to have intercourse to achieve or avoid pregnancy
*When you will get your period
*The quality of your cervical mucous
*If there are any potential problems in your cycle

It can also be extremely useful when Gender Swaying to determine which days are 'girl' days, and which days are 'boy' days.
Basically, charting enables you to pinpoint when you have ovulated in any given month and the signs that precede this ovulation. After ovulation, temperatures quickly rise above the range of lower temperatures that precede it. This is called the 'thermal shift'.
Below is an example of a standard temperature pattern showing the thermal shift and accompanying mucous changes. 
By recording temperature, mucous changes and other fertility signs, your chart will give you an accurate picture of varying hormone levels and changes throughout your cycle. Once you learnt he basic principles it becomes second nature. 
To learn how to chart and interpret your cycle and observe fertility signs you can make an appointment at the clinic with Lisa, or one of our other very experienced naturopaths.
