This Method is reliable and harmless. It monitors reproductive health. No drugs, no devices, and no operations are necessary.  \nThe Cervical Mucus Pattern of Fertility—The Changing Pattern.  \nAt some time between menstruations, a fertile woman notices at the vulva a discharge of mucus which is produced by the cervix.  \nShe becomes aware of the sensation this mucus produces at the vulva as she goes about her normal daily activities. This discharge is not an abnormality. It is an indication of good health and tells the woman that now is the time when an act of intercourse may result in pregnancy. The mucus is essential for the healthy function of sperm. A woman is an individual and will describe her own mucus pattern. In general, the fertile pattern of mucus changes from day to day, progressing from a sensation of stickiness to slipperiness, often with visible clear or cloudy strings of mucus, until the vulva is slippery and swollen. The vulva has a heightened sensitivity near the Peak. The last day of this slippery sensation at the vulva is known as Peak. This is the time of maximum fertility. At this time, there may be little or no mucus to be seen.  \nOvulation occurs usually on Peak day, but in some cycles, ovulation may be delayed until day 1 or day 2 past Peak. There is only one day of ovulation in a cycle and the ovum lives less than 24 hours.  \nThe Patterns of Infertility  \n1. The Basic Infertile Pattern (BIP) is an unchanging pattern. It is identified at the vulva as:  \na. nothing felt or seen-dry,  \nb. a discharge which remains the same in both sensation and appearance.  \n2. A woman is infertile from the 4th day following the Peak. The egg is gone. (There is no BIP after Peak.)  \nThe Rules of the Billings Ovulation Method  \nFor the Achievement of Pregnancy  \nFollowing menstruation, during the BIP, intercourse is confined to alternate evenings (early day rules 1 and 2—see below) until the change occurs which marks the beginning of the fertile phase. Now intercourse is postponed until the vulva feels slippery. Over the next few days the possibility of pregnancy following intercourse increases until the day of Peak, which is the day of maximal fertility. Therefore, intercourse is resumed when the slippery sensation is well established near Peak. Note the softening of the vulva at this time.  \nIn short cycles, Peak may be identified before the menstrual bleeding is finished. Intercourse should occur at this time for the best chance of conceiving. During the 3 days following Peak, conception is still possible but to a diminished degree.  \nFor the Postponement of Pregnancy  \nApply: The Early Day Rules and  \nPeak Rule  \nThe Early Day Rules  \nRule 1 Avoid intercourse on days of heavy bleeding during menstruation.  \nRule 2 Alternate evenings are available for intercourse when these days have been recognized as the Basic Infertile Pattern.  \nRule 3 Avoid intercourse on any day of discharge or bleeding which interrupts the Basic Infertile Pattern. Then allow 3 days of Basic Infertile Pattern before intercourse is resumed on the fourth evening of the Basic Infertile Pattern.(Wait and See, 1,2,3”)  \nEarly Day Rules continue to be applied until Peak is recognized.  \nPeak Rule  \nFrom the beginning of the 4th day following Peak until the end of the cycle, intercourse is available every day at anytime. Peak must be identified before the Peak Rule is applied.  \nThe Ovulation Method can be applied successfully in all circumstances and if these 4 Rules are applied, the couple can expect better than 99% success in avoiding pregnancy. It does not matter whether cycles are regular or irregular.","cbCaihCV8qCBht27","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihCV8qCBht27","pdf",502315,"English","# Billings Ovulation Method Overview\n## Cervical Mucus Pattern of Fertility and Infertility\n## Rules for Achieving Pregnancy\n## Rules for Postponing Pregnancy\n## Incompatible Practices\n## Personal Record Chart","[{\"question\":\"What is the Billings Ovulation Method and how does it work?\",\"answer\":\"It is a natural method of fertility regulation based on observing the cervical mucus pattern.
