Fertility awareness provides information on male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology, as it relates to fertility, and helps you to understand your body’s signals through your monthly cycle.

Learning how to recognise when you are about to ovulate is one of the most important ways to pinpoint the best time to have intercourse in order to conceive. These signs include changes to cervical mucus, subtle changes in body temperature, and the position of your cervix.

You will also learn other important facts about intercourse that can have an effect on your ability to conceive, for example how often, which positions are best, use of lubricants and more.

As an experienced psychosexual therapist Dana can help you to put the fun into your love-making so that it does not become a ‘chore’, especially if you have been trying to get pregnant for some time.  Research appears to suggest that having regular satisfying sex in a loving, emotionally supportive relationship can have a positive effect on your fertility.
