 Woman is rare among creatures in that she outlives her reproductive capacity. From the age of about fifty, most women are infertile, with perhaps another thirty or so years of life remaining. The change from fertility to infertility is usually gradual, occurring over a number of years. This period of change is commonly marked by menstrual cycles that are extremely variable in length and by mucus episodes that are increasingly less frequent.Uncertainty about whether or not a couple is fertile at this stage can cause severe stress on relationships, resulting in feelings of rejection and confusion for both. A couple who does not want another pregnancy, but is uncertain whether this is possible or likely, may find themselves abstaining unnecessarily if they do not recognize infertility as positively as they were used to recognizing fertility. Perhaps your doctor has suggested that for your health you should no longer be using contraceptive measures and you need to find a natural method of controlling your fertility for the remainder of your reproductive life. The Billings Ovulation Method™ can provide security during this time of changing fertility. By learning to recognize the pattern of infertility and the increasingly infrequent times of possible fertility you can apply the guidelines to avoid pregnancy confident in the knowledge that this Method is as successful as anything else you might try or have already tried. Your Billings Ovulation Method™ tutor will be able to assist you to learn how to observe and chart the pattern and correctly interpret what your chart is telling you. It is not necessary to predict the end of fertility: the key to successful fertility regulation at this stage is positive recognition of infertility which will eventually become absolute.
