Intimate Health

Using the Fertility Tracker Method (FTM) you can use a Fertility Monitor like the Lady-Comp or the Daysy to collect together all of the subtle clues that your body sends out that give up the secret of when it's going to ovulate. By knowing the ovulation date these monitors can present you with your fertility window for that cycle and you can take charge of your fertility.

The alternative to understanding your fertility is simply supressing it with hormonal contraceptives. Bombing your finely tuned reproductive system with synthetic hormones is a pretty sure-fire way of stopping it from working, not 100% reliable but never the less, simple.

Well, simple until you factor in possible side effects and try to work out if things will work perfectly again once you stop taking the hormones, but that's another coversation altogether!

The beautiful thing is that here in the UK we have plenty of choices. If hormonal contraception is what you opt for there are dozens of them available from your GP or your local Family Planning Association (FPA).

If the Fertility Tracker Method is for you we have the Daysy and the Lady-Comp available.

And once you've identified your fertility window, you and your partner can opt for abstinence, a FemCap, a Caya diaphragm, a Milex diaphragm or Vegan condoms from our online store.

As always, open dialogue with your partner about contraception and fertility is healthy for your relationship and always check with your Doctor, Midwife or Gyno' if you're thinking of changing your contraceptive method.
