Enhance your fertility...naturally
The Fertility MattersTM Method is a life-changing Christian method of fertility awareness. The core of the Fertility Matters Method (FMM) is meeting privately with a Christian FMM fertility advisor who has special training in helping couples understand, support and enhance your fertility with natural means. Read more about our Philosophy of Care.
Achieving a Healthy Pregnancy: the Fertility MattersTM Method Fertility Enhancement ProgramThe Achieving a Healthy Pregnancy Program teaches you the Fertility Matters Method, a new, life-changing Christian method of understanding, supporting, and enhancing your fertility with natural (non-pharmacological, non-surgical) means. This program is for you if:
you are looking to conceive sometime soon, and want to maximize your chances of conceiving quickly and having a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby
you have had difficulties conceiving
you have had miscarriages of unknown cause
you wish to boost your fertility with natural means
also appropriate for you if you are planning to or have recently discontinued hormonal contraception and wish to conceive
you would like to receive fertility counseling from someone who understands and respects your Christian beliefs about marriage and family
For couples preparing to conceive, it is best to meet with your fertility advisor for 3-6 months prior to your target conception date. For couples already trying to conceive, you can expect to meet with your fertility advisor and implement the Fertility Matters Method for 6 months to one year, although pregnancies have been achieved as soon as the first cycle after the introductory class. If you have not conceived after one year of fertility counseling (or sooner if necessary) your instructor will provide referrals to qualified medical professionals who understand Natural Family Planning and can provide further medical assistance. This course is not intended to diagnose or treat illnesses, but to provide information that you can use to naturally strengthen your fertility.
A. A., a participant in the Preconception Program, commented that the most valuable part of the course was, "learning how our bodies work and how what we do affects our fertility... I learned a lot!... Excellent job!"
Compared to another Natural Family Planning course taken previously, A.A. noted that this course was, "much more informative, and complete."
