The Billings Ovulation Method as a Diagnostic Tool

In this video, Dr. Anna Maria Merola explains how important the use of the Billings® Ovulation Method is in the diagnostic field. This method has, in fact, the peculiarity of creating a common "language" between doctor and patient. The woman and/or couple, in fact, who wishes to practice the Billings® Ovulation Method is fully and consciously involved in the diagnostic process. In this way, the Specialist can better understand the patient's biological phenomena and understand what possibly deviates from physiological normality. When a woman is aware of the Method, she can make a self-observation of her cycle and is able to realize if something abnormal is happening. In this way, it is possible to accompany and guide the woman in the most appropriate way.

The Billings® Ovulation Method is, therefore, of great support in the study of infertility and fertile periods. By knowing the best times for conception, it will therefore be possible to give couples who want a baby information on the most suitable days to try to get pregnant. It is also a very useful method for couples who do not wish to become pregnant: in this way they can refrain from having sexual intercourse in the days surrounding the maturation of the oocyte.

The Billings® Ovulation Method is also an important diagnostic tool in the presence of ovarian polycystosis and irregular cycles. It is possible, in fact, to better understand the timing of ovulation, so that even when menstruation is delayed there is no anxiety. The cycle is not something that "falls from the sky", but follows a precise biological rhythm even when it is irregular. By learning to recognize the different stages of their ovulation, young women can live their being a woman with much more serenity. Even in premenopause, when the cycle becomes irregular and it is no longer easy to recognize the stages of fertility, the Billings® Ovulation Method is very supportive. It also allows a better understanding of pathologies: even during the most trivial infections, such as vaginitis, the woman is able to discriminate a pathological signal from a biological one.
