Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses basal body temperature and dives into how to use this method of fertility awareness to help you get pregnant, understand your cycle, or help prevent pregnancy. How effective is using BBT to get pregnant? Who is it good for and not good for? How can you use it to prevent pregnancy? BBT is not new, but it has recently regained popularity. Your fertility is a sign of your overall health and I love anything that helps you understand your body better. Natalie answers your questions in FFS-For Fertility's Sake How much are my chances of conceiving reduced by having only one Fallopian tube? Why does the body release more than one egg each month if only one egg is ovulated? What happens if I get pregnant and my hypothyroidism is not in control?
