What happens when the people who teach women to chart their cycles and the clinicians who treat them start speaking the same language?
That question is at the heart of “Bridging the Gap,” the 2026 FACTS About Fertility Virtual Conference, held online November 20–21. This fertility awareness conference brings together leading voices in fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) and restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) for two days of practical, science-based training.
Sessions at the 2026 Fertility Awareness Conference
- Connecting the FABM Educator and Clinician with Melissa Buchan, RN, founder of the Chart Your Cycle program. She will discuss how cycle charting can bridge women’s lived experiences and clinical care.
- Ovarian Physiology with Alison Ermisch, PhD, Education Programs Manager at FACTS. Her doctoral research focused on oocyte metabolism and ovarian physiology.
- Male Reproductive Physiology with Craig Turczynski, PhD, a reproductive physiologist specializing in andrology and male infertility evaluation.
- Hysteroscopy with Ashley Womack, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN and NaProTechnology Medical Consultant with fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery.
- The Gap Between IVF and Root-Cause Approaches with Joseph Davis, DO, a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist and director of the FACTS FIRM Fellowship.
Marguerite Duane, MD, opens and closes each day. Saturday also includes a medical practice panel with Pearl Women’s Health and Surgery.
