 Every woman is an individual with her own individual pattern of discharge, but in every case the pattern is an accurate reflection of her reproductive hormones, unless there has been some damage to the cervix or to the ovulatory mechanism. Even when there is some abnormality, the chart will accurately reflect fertility, i.e. if there is no mucus, she will not be able to conceive. Therefore the couple can have confidence that the chart will give them the information they need to accurately manage their fertility without recourse to drugs or devices.Your Billings Ovulation Method™ tutor is the best person to help you in the early stages of learning to recognise your own individual pattern and give you confidence in applying the guidelines of the Method. Millions of couples around the world use this safe and effective Method to achieve or avoid pregnancy. When the Billings Ovulation Method™ is properly understood and applied according to the rules for the avoidance of pregnancy, it is highly effective. Latest trials show greater than 99% effectiveness. There is no method of avoiding pregnancy which is always 100% effective. This is true of sterilising operations of both men and women, as well as the use of chemical contraceptives and intra-uterine devices, and withdrawal and barrier contraception. When a fertile couple engages in sexual activity, the possibility of pregnancy should be recognised.
