Fertility awareness goes beyond family planning , said Dr. Roberto Vivera , FHI's Corporate Director for International Medical Affairs.Fertility awareness includes information on a broad range of topics related to reproductive health , including the woman's menstrual cycle , the effects of different contraceptives on women's and men's bodies , and signs and symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases.

Information on fertility awareness is now being offered by some family planning programmes in order to help couples to learn how to use contraceptives effectively.
