Nature has given women a highly effective, built-in system of fertility regulation. SAFE utilises nature's own fertility cycle and so eliminates the need for artificial devices and drugs when managing fertility. As its name implies the SAFE system does not in any way, interfere with or interrupt the natural functions of a woman's body and consequently poses no threat to her well-being.

SAFE is a natural modern method of fertility awareness based on the Ovulation Method, which has been proven by the World Health Organisation to be 99% effective. The Ovulation Method is one of the most tested methods of family planning and is used widely by millions of women around the world.

SAFE relies on the charting of the fertile and infertile signs which all women experience throughout their menstrual cycle. The SAFE system contains all the resources needed to plan your family naturally, including a specially designed Fertility Evaluator, a comprehensive manual, audio cassette, charting resources and a digital thermometer for those who may be having difficulties in conceiving or those wanting to use temperature as an additional guide. The resources are secured in a custom designed personal binder. Also available is Dr Evelyn Billing’s book on controlling fertility without drugs or devices.

SAFE can be used by:- Couples who wish to avoid pregnancy The understanding of fertility is an important part of modern life. A woman is fertile less than 5% of her entire life while during her reproductive years, she is only fertile on average 5 days in each menstrual cycle. SAFE is an effective way in which couples can identify the infertile time of a woman's menstrual cycle thereby allowing them to plan their family.

Couples who are having some difficulties conceiving It has been estimated that about 15% of women in western societies have some difficulties in conceiving. SAFE can help in two ways, firstly it enables couples to evaluate their fertility, secondly it helps in identifying the most fertile part of the menstrual cycle, thereby increasing the possibility of conceiving.

SAFE can be used by women in all stages of their menstrual life; While breast feeding. Women are encouraged to breast feed their children as it benefits both mother and baby. One of the benefits to the couple is that an interval of infertility occurs. SAFE can help couples to identify this interval and recognise the returning signals of fertility.

Entering pre-menopause. Women are unique in as much as fertility starts to decline during middle age, and by the age of fifty most women are infertile. SAFE can help women through this phase of their life by being able to recognise fertile intervals when they occur.

And women with irregular cycles. It is sometimes thought that women with irregular cycles cannot use natural methods. SAFE however, does not rely on the counting of days, but the observation of the fertile signals produced by a woman's reproductive system. This is more reliable than many of the alternatives.

One of the unique features of the SAFE system is the specially designed fertility evaluator, which helps you to focus on the fertile signs and gauge the changes in your fertility. The evaluator also helps to make charting easier, quicker and therefore reduces the learning curve.

SAFE, being a natural method of family planning is built on mutual fertility awareness, mutual responsibility and the mutual sharing of decisions. It not only opens spouses to a more profound knowledge of each other on the physical, psychological and even on the spiritual planes, but it also helps spouses to deepen their mutual appreciation and develop a more responsible commitment to each other.

This is a natural consequence since in each menstrual cycle; both partners are aware of the changes in the woman's fertility pattern and so can make an informed decision as to whether to try to conceive or to avoid conception. This shared knowledge and responsibility enhances communication and cooperation between the spouses in addition to fostering a deeper shared love.

SAFE's design encourages the involvement and participation of a husband in the charting of his wife's menstrual cycle, thereby allowing him to be aware of his wife's fertility.
