<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Billings Ovulation Method''' is a form of [[Natural family planning|natural family planning]] that was developed by Drs. John and Evelyn Billings of Melbourne, Australia. The method is based on the observation and charting of [[Cervical mucus|cervical mucus]] to determine a woman's fertility.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Billings Ovulation Method was developed in the 1950s by Drs. [[John Billings|John]] and [[Evelyn Billings|Evelyn Billings]]. The couple were inspired to create a natural method of family planning after observing the lack of options available to Catholic couples following the [[Papal encyclical|Papal encyclical]] ''[[Humanae Vitae]]'', which prohibited artificial contraception.<br />
<br />
==Method==<br />
The Billings Ovulation Method involves the woman observing and charting changes in her cervical mucus. The presence and consistency of this mucus can indicate the various stages of the [[Menstrual cycle|menstrual cycle]], including ovulation. By avoiding intercourse on days when fertile-type mucus is present, couples can avoid pregnancy.<br />
<br />
==Effectiveness==<br />
Studies have shown that the Billings Ovulation Method can be up to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when used correctly. However, the method requires careful instruction and consistent charting, and its effectiveness can be reduced if these are not adhered to.<br />
<br />
==Criticism==<br />
Critics of the Billings Ovulation Method argue that it is not as reliable as other forms of contraception, and that it requires a high level of commitment and understanding from both partners. Some also argue that it is not suitable for women with irregular menstrual cycles.<br />
