its also called natural family planning w a calendar. no beads necessary. it works best w females who has regular cycles and r in touch w their bodies and everything going on w it.

Yeah I saw that ..its much easier than alot of things you read these days everything gets so complicated...

Hi, I'm new in the forum -- this discussion came up on my TTC alerts. I'm a health educator who counsels women on both trying to conceive and on birth control. The nice thing about cyclebeads when trying to conceive is that you don't have to have an exact cycle to use it. You can vary by up to about 8 days each cycle. Almost any woman with approximately monthly periods can use it to identify the potentially fertile time. The window is a bit wider than some other approaches, but that way you don't miss the fertile days and can get pregnant in fewer cycles.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that.... yes its all new to me and so much easier to do ...not complicated and long winded..I have only just heard of it in the last few weeks.
