Abstract

Recent research has demonstrated that more than 9 out of 10 women experiencing infertility believe they should receive fertility-awareness education (Hampton and Mazza 2015). This study also found that general practitioners (GPs) were consulted by women only 30% of the time, whereas trained teachers in fertility-awareness were found to be significantly better sources of information for fertility education. Considering the Rhythm method is the most frequently taught fertility awareness-based method (FABM) in general practice (Hampton and Newton 2016) and is also one of the least accurate, this should not come as a surprise.
