Sensiplan is a scientifically studied symptothermal fertility awareness method. It involves observing and recording two primary fertility signs: cervical mucus and basal body temperature. You learn to interpret these observations using a set of established rules to identify the fertile and infertile phases of your cycle.

No. You can learn Sensiplan from scratch. My teaching takes you through the method step by step, so you can develop the knowledge and confidence to interpret your own charts.

FAM stands for Fertility Awareness Method, but it isn't the name of one specific method. It's an umbrella term used to describe a range of fertility awareness approaches, each with its own rules and guidelines.There are several different methods within fertility awareness, including Sensiplan, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, hormone methods such as Marquette & The Calendar Method.It's important to know which specific method you're using because they don't all follow the same rules. Each method has its own established guidelines for identifying fertile and infertile days, based on how that particular method was developed and validated.So rather than simply saying you use FAM, you should know which fertility awareness method you're following. Sensiplan is one specific, scientifically studied method within the wider world of fertility awareness.

Yes. Sensiplan can be used as a hormone-free method of contraception when its rules are correctly learned and consistently applied. You'll learn how to identify your fertile phase and when you need to abstain from intercourse or use another form of protection.

Yes. Sensiplan is based on observing your individual cycle signs rather than relying on calendar predictions or assuming that ovulation happens on a particular cycle day. Learning to interpret your own observations is particularly useful when cycle lengths vary.

No. There's an important difference. With Sensiplan, you're observing your own real-time fertility biomarkers each day to determine your current fertility status. Many cycle-tracking apps use your previous cycle history and calendar data to predict when you might be fertile or ovulate. They're making estimates based on past patterns, rather than interpreting your actual observations in the current cycle.

Absolutely. Sensiplan helps you understand your cycle, identify your fertile window and recognise the signs that ovulation is approaching. This can help you time intercourse when trying to conceive.

My full Sensiplan teaching programme runs over six months, with four structured lessons and ongoing support as you learn to apply the method to your own cycles.

Yes. I offer online instruction, so you can learn with me wherever you are. I also offer in-person teaching where available.

Basal body temperature is one of the two primary observations used in Sensiplan. You'll learn how to take and record your temperature correctly, alongside observing your cervical mucus.

No. Ovulation predictor kits are not part of the Sensiplan method, and I don't teach their use as part of my Sensiplan classes. Sensiplan uses your observations of cervical mucus (or cervical changes) and basal body temperature to interpret your fertility.

Yes. Instead of observing cervical mucus, you can use cervical changes (your cervix) as your second fertility sign. This is an alternative observation method and does not change the efficacy of Sensiplan when the method is correctly applied.

This depends on your individual cycle and your cycle history. If your cycles are irregular, you may find that you have fewer safe days available than someone with more consistent cycles. However, Sensiplan still works with irregular cycles. The method uses your actual fertility observations and established rules rather than relying on predictable cycle lengths.

No. All of my classes for avoiding pregnancy are taught live via Zoom. This means you can ask questions as they come up, rather than watching a pre-recorded lesson and being left to figure things out yourself. It also allows me to check your understanding as we work through the method and make sure you're confident with what you're learning.
