In this episode, I stray from my usual interview format once again to share my take on some of the most common myths about fertility, the menstrual cycle, ovulation and the pill.
In case you don’t know me already a few things you might want to know are that I am and I have been charting my own cycles using the Fertility Awareness Method for the past 14 years or so, and I am the founder of FertilityFriday.com as well as the Fertility Friday Podcast!

Lisa, I just started listening to your podcast and getting some amazing info! Thank you so much for doing this! My question is, my doctor told me to have sex every other day, I’m wondering if I’m creating more problems by doing this. Should I be having sex every day that I see CM?
Thank you!
Thank you Jessica! Your days of mucus are your fertile days, so the advice of “every other day” is basically a shot in the dark!
