Mel talks to Liz, from Body Literati, about her journey learning to demystify her fertility cycle in order to empower herself with fertility options and knowledge on how her body works and what it needs. Liz practices and educated on the Fertility Awareness Method to help others do the same. If you'd like to get in touch with Liz, you can email her at lizwagnerbiro@gmail.com or you can find her on instagram or TikTok @bodyliterati.
Some books she recommends:
Taking Charge of Your Fertility (this is a great intro to cycle charting and also teaches a method to avoid or achieve pregnancy)
Garden of Fertility is another option
A warning note about those books from Liz: They are all gender normative and use "woman" to refer to person with cycles.
