Contraceptive methods based on awareness of one’s own fertility seem to be everywhere these days – promoted by MAHA health influencers, touted by evangelical Christians and ultra-Catholics, advertised by FemTech. But do they work? Why are women and persons capable of pregnancy turning to them? Did the field of sexual and reproductive health err in shunning them? Should we be worried by the deep-pocketed economic and religious forces behind them? Two experts in the field – Drs Rebecca Simmons and Chelsea Polis – provide nuanced and thought-provoking answers.

Les méthodes contraceptives basées sur la connaissance de sa propre fertilité semblent omniprésentes aujourd’hui : promues par les influenceuses santé MAHA, vantées par les chrétiens évangéliques et les ultra-catholiques, mises en avant par FemTech. Mais ces méthodes sont-elles efficaces ? Pourquoi les femmes et les personnes capables de procréer y ont-elles recours ? Le domaine de la santé sexuelle et reproductive a-t-il eu tort de les rejeter ? Devons-nous nous inquiéter des puissants intérêts économiques et religieux qui les appuient ? Deux expertes en la matière, les dres Rebecca Simmons et Chelsea Polis, nous offrent des réponses nuancées qui invitent à la réflexion.
