Frequently Asked Questions:


Why don't we just use a device like Natural Cycles, Daysy, or a fertility app?

Femtech devices like Natural Cycles, Daysy, & fertility tracking apps use temperature tracking, past cycles, & an algorithm to determine the opening and closing of the fertile window. Because temperature is progesterone dependent, it can only accurately be used to CLOSE the fertile window. Temperature does not tell us when we need to OPEN the fertile window. Basing the opening of the fertile window on past cycles or an algorithm is a prediction (aka a guess) that is not based on real-time information from your current menstrual cycle. That is not the most effective way to use fertility awareness as birth control or pregnancy achievement. The most accurate way to open the fertile window is using real-time cervical fluid tracking + its corresponding rules, which you will learn how to do in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship. Many femtech devices that allows users to input cervical fluid data do NOT actually use it to determine the "fertile" and "infertile" days it shows the user. The Sympto-Thermal Double Check Method uses both cervical fluid & temperature, PLUS additional tracking sings, AND 4 specific rules that allows you to open & close your fertile window based on information from your current cycle. 


I'm on hormonal birth control or the copper IUD, can I still participate in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship?

Yes, you can still participate in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship if you're on hormonal birth control or the copper IUD. Your experience, however, will be different than what has been outlined here on this page. Most types of hormonal birth control prevent ovulation and suppress a woman's menstrual cycle which means that there would be no natural cycle to track, connect to, or live in alignment with. The four natural phases of the menstrual cycle are shut down. Even the periods many women get on hormonal birth control aren't even real periods, they're chemical bleeds. To get the most out of the mentorship it is recommended that participants are not on hormonal birth control OR that they plan to transition off of it while in the program. With that being said, if you're excited to learn the information and don't mind waiting until you go off of hormonal birth control at a later date to apply the information to your personal cycle, you are more than welcome to join us in the course and learn all about this empowering natural birth control method!

For users of the copper IUD - The copper IUD can greatly alter the natural cervical fluid fluctuations of the menstrual cycle making cervical fluid tracking nearly impossible for some users. Temperature, however, can still be accurately tracked for most folks on the copper IUD. You do continue to ovulate, menstruate, & experience all phases of the menstrual cycle while on the copper IUD.



I'm newly off of hormonal birth control and I haven't gotten a regular cycle and/or period back yet. Will the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship still work for me?

That's okay! In the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship we can explore ways to support the return of ovulation, healthy periods, and a regular menstrual cycle using food, supplements, & lifestyle shifts (modules 9 & 10!). In fact, living in alignment with your menstrual cycle is a great way to encourage the return of a healthy period. You may not have the opportunity to track for 3 full menstrual cycles during your time in the course as intended, but you will learn how to use the method, get hands-on practice with it, and explore how to support the return of your cycle in the meantime. I recommend that anyone who is newly off of hormonal birth control plan to work with me or a member of the Sauvage Wellness team for at least 3 to 6 full menstrual cycles for chart reviews to ensure that they are applying the rules of the method correctly to their own cycles.


I'm not on birth control, but I don't get regular periods (or maybe any periods). Can I still participate in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship?

That's okay, too! If your periods are irregular or your struggle with conditions like PCOS the practices you'll learn in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship can help promote regular periods for some women. In fact, I've had clients achieve natural periods after a lifetime of PCOS using the practices outlined in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship. You may, however, want to plan for additional 1-on-1 office mentoring calls to get expert support with your more challenging cycle tracking scenario beyond the 3 months of mentoring included in the Cycle Wisdom Mentoring bundles. The ultimate goal is to support the creation of a regular cycle so that the more difficult irregular cycles charting scenario is alleviated over time. PLUS, the body wants to ovulate regularly!


I've never tracked my cycle before. I don't even really think about my cycle that much. Is that okay?

When you first learned to drive a car you probably had never done that before either, but look at you now - You probably drive every single day! Learning how to cycle track is very similar. You may not know how to do it now (because you're just starting!), but after learning from someone who has been doing it successfully for years (that's me!) you'll be cycle tracking  every day with ease and confidence. The Cycle Wisdom Mentorship bundles are the perfect place to learn how to track your cycle!


I don't have the same wake-up time every day & I'm worried temperature tracking wont work for me. What can I do?

You don't have to wake up at the same time every  day in order to safely & effectively use the sympto-thermal double check method taught in the Cycle Wisdom Mentorship bundles. There is a simple formula for adjusting temperatures on the days that you wake up earlier or later than usual. Some folks even choose to invest in TempDrop, an arm band thermometer that takes your temperature for you automatically while you're sleeping. 


I'm so worried about getting pregnant. How can I feel more confident that this will really work?

Every single person who has ever worked with me has had this same worry when first starting out. In fact, I felt it too over a decade ago when I began my natural birth control journey. The truth is that, like with anything new, confidence comes from doing it. It comes from learning how it works and hands-on practice. Most participants are shocked by how confident they feel so early on in the course. Most participants express feelings of immense confidence in the method by module 6 because the beginning portion of the program is so full of practice charts & opportunities to put the method into practice.



Real Talk - What kind of results can I expect?

All of the results you see on this page are from real Sauvage Wellness clients who voluntarily chose to share their experiences with you. They were so thrilled by their results that they wanted you to know about them - pretty cool, huh?! I've witness my course participants find 100% confidence in this natural birth control method, heal their period cramps, get rid of pms, shorten their periods, get relief from debilitating endometriosis, become mesmerized by their bodies, and so much more! The truth is that if you want BIG results in the course, then you've got to show up in a BIG way - ready to change old habits, break free from limiting beliefs, and trust that your menstrual cycle truly is your superpower!
