Fertility control should be reliable, harmless, immediately reversible, and inexpensive. It shouldn't detract from the pleasure of sex, and it should encourage a good emotional and sexual relationship between partners. Many women find the various methods of contraception available today to be unsatisfactory or unacceptable because they fail to tick one or more of these boxes. Find out how the Billings Ovulation Method® ticks your boxes!
No side-effects or long-term health risks
Women using hormonal methods of contraception may experience breast tenderness, nausea, headaches, breakthrough bleeding, weight gain, mood changes and loss of libido. For women who smoke, or who have cardiovascular problems or high blood pressure the risks of heart attack and stroke are increased.
Oestrogen-progestogen oral contraceptives (combined) have been classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as Group 1 carcinogens. That means they are known to be carcinogenic to humans.
With the Billings Ovulation Method® you don't have to worry about side-effects or long-term health risks. The method is 100 percent natural, so it doesn't interfere with the delicate balance of natural processes in your body.

Affordable
There's a small fee for your consultation with a Billings Ovulation Method® teacher to learn the method. Then after that, it's free.
Cares for the environment
Synthetic oestrogen, a common ingredient in hormonal contraception, can contaminate the environment after being carried by sewage into rivers. There are a number of studies suggesting a link between oestrogen contamination of the environment and adverse changes in male reproductive health (eg decline in sperm counts, increase in genital malformations, increase in testicular and prostate cancers).
The Billings Ovulation Method® is 100% hormone free, so it won't contaminate the environment. And there is no packaging adding to landfill.
