53:02

An estimated 44% of girls don't know what's happening when they start their first period.

41:25

Talking about intimacy can be tough, which can make communicating about natural family planning (NFP) with our spouse—or sharing about NFP and its benefits with others—a little bit... uncomfortable.

It's no secret that fertility awareness methods (FAMs) can be a controversial subject.
