The Billings Ovulation Method.  Are you wishing to plan or prevent pregnancy? There are many reasons that make modern scientific natural family planning beneficial to female reproductive health. The knowledge that this method of natural fertility regulation provides should be understood by every woman. Either way the Billings Method, developed by Drs. John and Evelyn Billings of Australia, will help you during all the stages of your reproductive life. For e.g. regular, irregular, anovular cycles; low fertility; after childbirth, breastfeeding; pre-menopause; coming off contraceptive medication. etc.

It is not the Rhythm method nor the Calendar method. It does not involve temperature taking. It is easy to learn and is highly successful when used by a couple to achieve or avoid a pregnancy. This method of natural family planning engenders co-operation and respect between the woman and man. It develops love and concern for each other and for the child, thus enriching their relationship.
