The natural method of contraception (also known as fertility awareness or natural family planning) involves tracking a woman's menstrual cycle and avoiding intercourse during ovulation. To do this, a woman needs to determine when she is ovulating. It is recommended to begin counting the first day of the menstrual cycle as the first day of menstrual bleeding.
