Topics discussed in today’s episode:

Why so many doctors dismiss fertility awareness-based methods, even when they’re a proven, effective form of contraception.
How the study shows just how little doctors know about FABMs despite being taught about them in medical school.
The preference for hormonal methods in medical practice and the push towards non-user-dependent methods like IUDs.

Strategies for advocating for your reproductive health choices and finding a doctor who respects your decision to use FABMs.
