During a woman’s reproductive life she can be taught to identify
cervical
responses to ovarian hormones through recognition of the changing
sensation at
her vulva. The Billings Ovulation Method, the clinical work of Drs
John and
Evelyn Billings, enables a woman to identify the infertile and fertile
phases of her
cycle and the optimum time of fertility through recording and understanding
these
signs. Studies of cervical mucus, the work of Professor Erik Odeblad,
have
confirmed that the mucus must have special characteristics if sperm
are to reach
and fertilise an ovum.
Ovulation is the significant event of the fertile ovarian cycle,
however women do
not experience complete regularity in their menstrual cycles from
Menarche to
Menopause. The “Continuum”, the work of Professor James
B Brown,
acknowledges that cycle variants are not separate entities. One
merges into the
next so that there is a continuous gradation from no follicular
activity through
follicular activity without an LH surge, through increasing maturation
of the LH
mechanism to the fully fertile ovulatory cycle. This Seminar will
examine this
“Continuum” of ovarian activity from Menarche to Menopause.
The General Practitioner will gain the skill to identify the hormonal
and cervical
changes observed by the woman and reflected in her written record.
With the
skills and knowledge gained from this activity, doctors will be
able not only to
assist the couple wishing to achieve or to avoid a pregnancy but
also to monitor
the woman’s reproductive health. |
