Fertility Care Scotland was founded in 1976 to help women in Scotland understand and appreciate their fertility thereby enabling Scottish couples to follow a completely natural and safe method of family planning. This understanding has meant that women can gain knowledge of their fertility without having to go through possible stressful examinations.  The method taught by Fertility Care Scotland is called the Billings Ovulation Method. For just over 30 years Fertility Care Scotland's trained personnel have taught couples to use this method both for the Achievement of Pregnancy and also for the Postponement of Pregnancy.  Please see their website for details of local clinics.
