Carmen Lorenzana - Chart your cycle

Charting your cycle is key to understanding your body and monitoring your hormonal health.

In this 3-month program, you’ll learn to identify, chart and interpret fertility biomarkers in your cycle to:

  • Identify the fertile and infertile days in your cycle

  • Confirm ovulation (and know if it’s happening every cycle)

  • Monitor your hormonal health & identify irregularities

  • Naturally avoid or achieve pregnancy

  • Get in tune with your cyclical nature

Learn to chart your cycle with the FEMM fertility awareness method.

A fertility awareness method (FAM) is the practice of observing and interpreting biological signs (also called biomarkers) to identify the fertile and infertile days in your cycle. In the Chart Your Cycle program, you’ll learn to chart your cervical mucus, basal body temperature, and the presence or absence of the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) using the FEMM fertility awareness method.

Come to the classes

The program consists of 3 online classes (1 class per month – 90 minutes each).

Chart your cycle

You’ll learn to identify different fertility biomarkers in your cycle from the first class, which you’ll chart every day using a paper chart and the Read Your Body app. The idea is that you complete three full cycles of charting under my guidance to feel confident in your observations and interpretations.

1:1 Follow-up calls

I’ll meet privately with you once between classes to check your chart, give you feedback, answer your questions, and fix mistakes on the go. We’ll also assess if you need help with your reproductive health in these sessions.

Close support from me

To set you up for success, you’ll have support from me via email and Whatsapp for the duration of the program. You’ll also receive guides, handouts, and extra resources to facilitate your learning process.

What my clients say:

“This program was educational and practical at the same time; it gave me the confidence to follow my fertility signs and avoid pregnancy in the most natural way I can imagine. I feel so much more connected to my body and I truly think that this information should be shared with everyone, especially if you feel that all you know about your cycle is that you bleed. Carmen as trainer was professional, giving a lot of space, letting this experience be your experience and delivering the best value for the investment”.

Santa, Latvia

“I got to know Carmen due to her activities online about menstrual awareness. I was curious at first to learn something new about my body, and I discovered a passionate and empathic professional. My learning journey with Carmen has been interesting and enriching. I’m more aware of my body, and I can read more about what is happening during my cycle. The journey is not finished yet, and I can’t wait to continue exploring with Carmen’s wise guidance”.

Stella, Italy

“Carmen’s coaching changed how I feel about my body and my menstrual cycle. Going deep in women’s biology, nature, and feminine energy taught me how to listen to and understand my body and soul better in the different phases of the never-ending cycle of ours. Thanks to Carmen, I am perfectly happy with my imperfect body, and I now have the tools to face the challenges of everyday life.” 

Kinga , Hungary

“The coaching with Carmen helped me in many ways. I learnt many things about my cycle and  the way you can observe and interpret it. The sessions were also moments to come closer to myself, to be gentle with myself and make plans for treating myself even better in the future —I finally learnt to embrace my cycle fully. I am very grateful for the process we did together and I would recommend every woman to do the same journey!”

Tineke , Belgium

“My 6-month coaching journey with Carmen was transformational. During our sessions, she provided me with so many useful tools, mind opening concepts and healing clarity. I loved her clear communication, sincere compassion and willingness to help. I warmly recommend her services to any woman who is looking for their own personal next level and deeper connection. Carmen will surely guide you there!”

Meet your guide

Hi! I’m Carmen, a Menstrual Educator and Fertility Awareness Instructor trained in the FEMM protocol.

Seven years ago, looking for a holistic way to treat PCOS, I discovered the world of Menstrual Cycle Awareness. I finally learned that the cycle is an incredible feedback tool that gives us important clues about our physical, mental, and emotional health. This was a life-changing discovery, and I immediately felt called to become a Fertility Awareness Instructor and support others on this path.

I’m here to help you deeply understand your cycle, connect with your body and make empowered decisions about your reproductive health.

My approach is humane and secular, and I offer programs in Spanish and English.

I would love to support you in this process!

FAQ’s

Chart your cycle is the right program for you if you: 

  • Are interested in knowing and understanding your cycle, how it works, and how it impacts your overall health.
  • Are looking for a natural birth control method, free of synthetic hormones & side effects, or 
  • Are looking to conceive naturally.
  • Are willing to invest time and energy in learning the method, understanding that you cannot rely on it as your birth control method for at least three ovulatory cycles. (This may vary from one person to another, depending on their cycle patterns. I’ll guide you on this process).
  • Have irregular cycles due to PCOS, endometriosis, or other conditions. 
  • Are in a relationship, single, or not sexually active. FAM is a tool to understand your cycle and your body beyond reproduction.

This program is not for you if: 

  • You are in need of an immediate solution for birth control. 
  • The current situation of your life makes it difficult for you to observe and chart your biomarkers.
  • Using barrier methods or other safe practices while learning to use the FEMM method is not an option for you.
  • You’re in the postpartum and have not seen a return in your fertility (you’d need a special guidance for this which is beyond the scope of this program).
  • You’re using any form of hormonal birth control.
  • Be aware that drinking alcohol or using drugs regularly can alter your biomarkers.

I’m trained in the FEMM protocol. FEMM is a Fertility Awareness-based method that combines cervical mucus observations and urinary test strips to measure the presence or absence of the Luteinizing Hormone. In addition, my program includes a session on basal body temperature, which is an important biomarker that allows you to confirm ovulation in your cycle.

When you take hormonal birth control, you replace your reproductive hormones with synthetic ones; in other words, you are not experiencing a natural menstrual cycle. The information in this program can still be helpful, but it won’t be applicable in the same way, as you are not cycling naturally.

This program is not you if you are postpartum and haven’t seen a return in your fertility, as this requires a particular type of support. If your cycles have returned after childbirth, you can take it.

Absolutely! FAM is a tool to educate yourself and understand your hormonal health. If you have irregular cycles due to PCOS or other disorders, you will benefit significantly from it as it can help you understand the root cause of your imbalance. Keep in mind that it may take you a little longer to learn it and use it as your birth control method.

This is the commitment from you: 

  • Fill out the Introduction Form,
  • Chart daily for three complete cycles, using an app (Read Your Body is my recommendation) and/or the paper chart,
  • Email me a copy of your charts two business days before each follow-up call.

Yes! You can divide the course fee into three monthly installments

I do! The program follows the same curriculum and format, but the difference is that we work one-to-one, allowing more personalized and close support as well as more flexibility in booking the sessions. If you have an irregular cycle or a hormonal imbalance, I’d recommend this option because we’ll have more flexibility to adapt to your own cycle.
The price for the 1:1 modality is €390, or 3 monthly payments of €147 each.
If you’re interested in this option, please contact me :)

After making your first payment, you have 10 days to request a refund of 100% of the money you have paid. Past that time, no refunds will be offered.
