Many popular birth control options such as IUDs, implants, and oral pills have side effects that our patients have been complaining about for years. Common side effects can be:
    • Weight gain
    • Headaches
    • Irregular bleeding
    • Increased risk of infection
    • Cramping
    • Depression
    • Hormonal imbalance

We offer the Billings Ovulation Method, a non-hormonal way of fertility management.

No drugs, no devices, no side effects.

This is a powerful knowledge to recognize the parts of your cycle that are infertile to avoid pregnancy. The fertile period of your cycle is generally only 5 days per month. We teach you how to recognize these fertile and infertile phases. The Billings Ovulation Method is 99% effective.  

At Phoenix Women’s Clinic we teach you to chart your signs of fertility and follow the guidelines of the method. This empowers you to confidently determine if sex on a given day is likely to lead to pregnancy.

This method can also give your medical provider an accurate history of your cycles which can be critical information in diagnosing and addressing a problem such as:

    • Repetitive miscarriage
    • Polycystic ovary syndrome
    • Abnormal bleeding
    • Infertility
    • Fibroids
    • Endometriosis
    • Pregnancy health
    • Ovarian cysts
    • Postpartum
    • Premenopause
 
For pregnancy to occur, sperm and ovum, or egg, are both needed. Sperm is continuously produced while an ovum is released once a month during ovulation, on average. Once ovulation occurs, the ovum can only survive for 24 hours. This can be tracked to a 72-hour window.  
 
There are four phases in a healthy cycle:
    • Menstruation
    • Basic Infertile Pattern
    • Fertile Phase (this is the phase pregnancy can occur)
    • Luteal Phase
 
For irregular cycles the Billings Ovulation Method can be a guide in recognizing your phases and when to seek medical follow up.   

Schedule a one-on-one meeting with an NFP (Natural Family Planning) instructor to receive guidance on charting and identifying phases of fertility and infertility through signs and symptoms. NFP meetings are tailored to meet individual needs. Two office visits are necessary to ensure accurate charting and application of the method. Additional visits may be necessary depending on individual goals.

A teaching session to the Billings Ovulation Method is $35. This session will:

  • Teach you the science behind the method
  • How to begin charting Personalization of charting
  • Address your questions
  • Include a 2-week follow-up to ensure accurate charting

Once you know the method it can be used throughout all stages of life at no cost.

What is the healthiest form of birth control?                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Natural methods are the healthiest form of birth control since there are side effects. For fertility, there are generally five requirements. There must be a healthy cervix, healthy fallopian tubes, healthy ovulation, healthy endometrium, and healthy sperm. Birth control that uses drugs or devices seeks to take a healthy system and make it unhealthy. The drugs or devices affect at least one of the fertility requirements previously listed and make it unhealthy. The Billings ovulation Method is a natural method that has no side effects and is 99% effective. This method allows women to recognize fertility and infertility. Pregnancy can be avoided or achieved based on application of this method. This method empowers women with knowledge of their cycle. This can also help relationships. Devices and hormonal birth control often falsely leave responsibility of avoiding pregnancy on women solely. This can create stress, pressure, and uncomfortable conversations. Natural family planning encourages both partners to engage in responsibility. Using devices or hormonal birth control can have many side effects such as:

  • Hair loss
  • Weight gain
  • Irregular/heavy bleeding
  • Acne
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Bloating
  • Depression
  • Painful periods
  • PMS
  • Change in libido
  • Mood swings
  • Insomnia
  • Anovulation
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
