But do they work? Why are women and persons capable of pregnancy turning to them? Did the field of sexual and reproductive health err in shunning them?

Two experts in the field – Drs Rebecca Simmons and Chelsea Polis – provide nuanced and thought-provoking answers.   Méthodes de contraception basées sur la connaissance de la fertilité : pour ou contre ? avec les Dres Chelsea Polis et Rebecca Simmons Les méthodes contraceptives basées sur la connaissance de sa propre fertilité semblent omniprésentes aujourd’hui : promues par les influenceuses santé MAHA, vantées par les chrétiens évangéliques et les ultra-catholiques, mises en avant par FemTech.
