The Billings Ovulation Method™ is very successful in assisting couples, who had thought they were infertile, to achieve a pregnancy naturally. Accurate knowledge of their combined fertility enables them to identify the Peak of fertility and thus have the baby of their dreams. It is not uncommon, when IVF fails, for proper Billings Ovulation Method™ instruction to succeed.
