The Return of Fertility in Breast-feeding Women by Suzanne Parenteau-Carreau (1984)

The Return of Fertility in Breast-feeding Women by Suzanne Parenteau-Carreau in International Review of Natural Family Planning, Volume VIII, Number 1, Spring 1984

The purpose of our study was to correlate the clinical signs of the return of fertility-as the woman observes them in the Sympto­ Thermal Method-with the breast-feeding variables. A special postpartum chart was designed to record morning temperature, cervical mucus, and other signs of fertility /infertility in relation to dates and postpartum days, as well as indicators of the "inten­sity" of breast-feeding.

Suzanne Parenteau-Carreau, M.D., is a medical advisor to SERENA CANADA. A preliminary version of this paper was delivered at the Second International Symposium on Natural Family Planning in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 22-25, 1983.
