And while you may think that only teenagers and young women experience contraceptive failure, the fact is that the majority of unplanned pregnancies, about three-quarters of them, occur in women over the age of 20. Find out why contraceptives sometimes fail.

Why are we trying to control our fertility. So many struggle to accomplish this goal with “birthcontrol”…what is the secret to this issue? Knowledge of our fertility system charting our signs and knowing when I am fertile and when I am not. In a quest to control our fertility we fail to embrace the gift of this amazing body system. I have charted my fertility for many years with an amazing amount of success. I have four children that are spaced 2 1/2 -3 1/2 years apart! There have been no surprises! I use the fertileview software program. It is a fabulous tool when I input my information it gives me a result based on my fertility goal of acheiving or avoiding. I love having this awareness and it has been a fabulous gift with no side effects!!!
I too chart my fertility however I am tired of trying to interpret that information. My doctors have told me to that I should never be on any hormonal birth control due to the breast cancer in my family. I would love to use an interpretive software program. I am going to check out this fertileview program- THANKS!!!
This article made me all nervous about my IUD because I’ve never checked the strings, but my doctor told me today it’s in there fine and I won’t be able to feel the strings if I try. They cut the strings short on purpose or curve them around the cervix so your partner does not feel them, thus, you cannot feel them either.
