FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Habibi Fertility is a community created for racialised, disabled, queer, trans, intersex, non-binary people and for all menstruators, along with their partners and children.

I share evidence-based information with nuance, always mindful of how race, culture, migration and faith shape the way you experience your body, especially for those of us who grew up navigating silence surrounding our menstrual, sexual and reproductive health and rights. 

At Habibi Fertility, we use a sliding scale rooted in economic and social justice. 

  • Equity Tier: For those facing economic hardship, limited income, or living in the Global South. This tier ensures access for people who might otherwise be excluded.
  • Sustainer Tier: For those with stable income, financial security, or living in the Global North. Your support helps keep this community accessible to all.

By default, all our services will have the sustainer tier. Should you feel that the Equity tier fits your financial reality better, please send an email. 

Equity is at the heart of Habibi Fertility. Flexible payment plans are available for all services.

To join Habibi Cycles you don’t need to be off birth control to get started. In fact, learning FAM before you stop hormonal birth control can help you feel more confident when your natural cycles return. 

But for Habibi Care you won’t be able to apply what you are learning because hormonal birth control will affect your cervical mucus. Therefore I recommend you to stop it before you start your 1:1 support with me. If you have questions or are hesitant, book a free call with me first.

Irregular cycles aren’t a dealbreaker for fertility awareness methods! Habibi Care & Habibi Cycles teaches you how to track your fertility signs (like cervical mucus & basal body temperature) in real-time, so you can confidently use FAM even if your cycles are long, short, or a little chaotic.

Habibi Cycles & Habibi Care gives you a structured, step-by-step system so you’re not piecing together advice from Reddit threads and books. Plus, you’ll get real-time support from me, so you can get individualized support on your charts.

Whether you’re completely new to fertility awareness or have been DIY-ing it through apps, wearables or forums, I’m here to help you finally make sense of your menstrual cycle.

Fertility Awareness Methods (FAMs) are evidence-based, hormone-free ways to naturally prevent pregnancy. Instead of relying on artificial hormones or apps that guess, you learn to interpret your body’s primary biomarkers, like cervical mucus and/or the position of your cervix.

I teach the symptothermal and sympto-hormonal methods, which empower you to identify in real-time exactly when you are fertile and when you are not. This knowledge allows you to become the expert of your own health.

Most period apps offer you false certainty by predicting your fertile window. The problem is that ovulation cannot be predicted; it can only be confirmed after it has happened. An app guesses, but FAMs teach you to understand your body’s signals in real-time, which means you are knowing. With my support, you can gain the confidence to ditch your period app for good and stop outsourcing your fertility.

Yes. When used correctly, the science-backed methods I teach are highly effective. The symptothermal method has a 99.6% effectiveness rate, and the sympto-hormonal method is 97% effective. The goal is to replace anxiety with confidence, so you can feel safe enough to have unprotected sex* without the monthly panic while waiting for your period.

*please practice safe sex and ensure you and your partner(s) regularly test for STIs or use barrier methods.

Yes, Habibi Cycles gives you the tools to understand your cycle, learn the rules of the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), and start applying them in your own life. Throughout the course, you’ll have monthly live group classes to review charts and one private 1:1 session with me to support your learning.

For maximum effectiveness, it’s important to follow the learning phase guidelines: 1) chart your cycles and review them with me AND 2) until we’ve reviewed your charts together, I recommend avoiding unprotected vaginal intercourse (where ejaculation occurs inside the vagina).

But please note that fertility awareness methods can be highly effective when praticed correctly; however, no method is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. 

I offer different paths to body literacy to fit your needs.  

  • Habibi Care is for you if you desire private, 1:1 support in an intimate setting where guidance is tailored completely to your unique cycle. It includes options for avoiding pregnancy, trying to conceive, and postpartum support. 
  • Habibi Cycles is perfect if you want the freedom to learn at your own pace with a self-paced online course, but also crave the support of a like-minded community through monthly live calls.  

 

The best way to start is to book a free, no-pressure 20-minute intro call. We can talk about your unique goals and needs, and together we can figure out if we’re a good fit to work together.

You are in the right place! That is why I created Habibi Allies. This program is for partners, parents, friends, and anyone who wants to learn how to be a supportive ally.
