The Institute for Reproductive Health developed CycleBeads, a string of 32 color-coded beads with each bead representing a day of the menstrual cycle.Beginning with the red bead, which represents the first day of her menstrual period, a woman moves a small rubber ring one bead each day. The brown beads are the days when pregnancy is very unlikely, and the glow-in-the dark white beads -- beads 8-19 -- represent her fertile days.
The institute says this bead thing is 95% effective. Hmm. I guess you have to go to them to figure out when you ovulate, before you start with the beads? Everyone is different. What if you aren't regular? This sounds real iffy to me. And you have to take into account how long sperm lives, which can be up to five days. It may be safe (healthy), but, it sounds like real cave woman stuff to me. You know those ancient women had things like this. They also had a shit ton of kids. I guess if it fails, you could name the kid Sassyfrass and use the beads as a head band.

My brothers wife had something like this. She was in the natural organic way. She even got my niece a amber tether necklace. The amber was suppose to calm the child.
Some of the products, organic or natural ones I do believe in. Many I say are scams.
This I believe in. The fertility statues.

It's always on the woman's shoulders, isn't it? Even in this day and age. It should be easier.
Well I guess one could try this pretty sure an x on the calendar would do the same thing. Looks cool.
No, won't work. You have to buy the beads. LOL.
This will only work if a woman has a normal cycle. Otherwise, it's just a string of beads!
I go to monthlyinfo.com
You post when the first day of your period is every time. It tells you how long cycle is, when you period is due, and ovulation.
When I was young, I had a 28 day cycle on the dot. My OB called me Fertile Myrtle. I did not take birth control for years, and only got PG when I planned it. LOL
Now my cycle is all over the place.
