		The so-called Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM) is said to be a "natural introductory method of natural family planning" but unless the woman is taught to recognize her positive signs of infertility and signs of impending fertility she may be directed towards using an artificial method when she suddenly fails to fit the LAM criteria.
		If the woman is taught the Billings Ovulation Method which means recognition of the Basic Infertile Pattern and knowledge of the Early Day Rules which apply, she will automatically pass from recognition of infertility to recognition of fertility.
		Ovulation Method teachers are well equipped to teach breast-feeding women who are following LAM because of their knowledge of female fertility and their enthusiastic endorsement of full breast feeding.

	lifeissues \| Use of the Billings Ovulation Method
		While the method and user failure terms were appropriate for contraceptive users, who, in theory, intended to avoid pregnancy while continuing intercourse, the terminology was not acceptable to natural family planners because it implied that not using contraceptives was itself a failure.
		When women come to recognize absence of ovulation (anovulatory cycles) and therefore the absence of fertility, which is common in puberty, premenopause, stress, rapid weight loss, sudden increase in exercise, lactation and discontinuation of ovulation suppressing medications (contraceptive pill, depoprovera, norplant), they know how to recognize their status and the rules that apply.
		As a provider of the Billings Method my bias is obviously in the direction of this, the simplest, easiest, and most versatile of all the methods, based as it is on the woman's own observation of the sensation of her mucus.

		As the Billings Ovulation Method is based on identifying fertility or infertility on a day to day basis, all women can learn the method regardless of their cycle length or irregularity.
		In the Ovulation Method (OM), also known as the Billings method, the woman not only observes when she is bleeding, but also observes when she's producing fertile cervical fluid.

		Added to that, the Billings Method can be used to help the apparently infertile couples to achieve pregnancy, because it will direct the woman's attention to the day, even the time of the day when her body is telling her when she has the best possible chance of achieving pregnancy in the cycle.
		Thus the Billings Method is able to help protect the woman's reproductive health by her recognition of a disturbance of the normal mucus pattern, indicating the presence of an abnormality which can then be diagnosed and treated at a very early stage.
		It is sometimes suggested incorrectly that for the successful use of the Billings Method it is necessary for the husband and wife to have a high level of intelligence and that the relationship between the husband and wife is stable and happy.

		Generally, conclusions have been drawn that the ferning event begins on average about seven days before the first day of basal body temp rise, and specifically, salivary ferning can be observed one to two days prior to the onset of wet (more conducive to conception) cervical fluid.
		Ovulation only takes place once in every menstrual cycle, which means that there are only a few days each month when a woman can fall pregnant.
		However, intercourse and ovulation don't need to be at exactly the same time as healthy sperm can survive for about 48 to 72 hours inside a woman's body and a woman's egg lives for about 12 to 24 hours after ovulation.

	Solving the Puzzle of Natural Family Planning
		The Billings Ovulation Method would be based, as Billings describes it, on the "discovery that virtually every fertile woman observes, or can be trained to observe, the secretion of a particular pattern of mucus coming from the cervix around the time of fertility." Once cervical mucus is present, a couple must abstain from intercourse.
		Methods of NFP based exclusively on the signs of mucus and menstruation are often lumped under the name "Ovulation Method" (this is the abbreviated name for the "Billings Ovulation Method").
		Billings, who eventually was joined in his research by his wife, Evelyn, also a physician, wanted to know about the scientific reasons for the mucus changes.
