A Positive Solution for Achieving and Postponing Pregnancy by Evelyn L. Billings (1982)

A Positive Solution for Achieving and Postponing Pregnancy by Evelyn L. Billings in International Review of Natural Family Planning, Volume VI, Number 4, Winter 1982

A positive and natural solution for achieving and postponing pregnancy is normally at the disposal of the couple. The fertile phase which occurs once only in a woman's cycle,-no matter how long or short, is marked by the production of oestrogenic-depen­dent mucus from the cervix prior to ovulation. This mucus ensures the normal functioning of the normal sperm cells and, at the same time, alerts the woman to the signs of fertility at the vulva. The Ovulation Method (OM) uses these vulva} observations to identify the fertile phase, the subsequent infertile phase, and by the study of the behavioral pattern of the secretion before the fertile phase, pre-ovulatory infertility as well. 

Evelyn L. Billings, M.D., has worked closely with her husband, Dr. John Bil­lings, in researching the Billings Ovulation Method for the past 17 years. She is the author of many scientific articles and co-author of the Atlas of the Ovulation Method and The Billings Method-Controlling Fertility Without Drugs or Devices. This paper was presented at the Second International Congress for the Family of the Americas, Acapulco, August 1982.
