Fertility awareness methods of birth control and family planning will continue to take off in spite of negative media reports because women like them. The oral contraceptive pill doesn’t work for all women–for some it has terrible side effects, for others it is unethical. It is empowering for women to know their bodies better and this is what fertility awareness achieves. It’s too bad that this new fertility awareness app got bad press but I don’t think it matters much. If my chosen method of fertility awareness (Creighton) had an app, I’d be thrilled. In fact, that’s the one and only shortcoming with the system right now–they make you use this old-fashioned thing called paper.
