Breaking News

It is with heavy hearts that we write today to tell you of the death this morning of our beloved founder, Dr Evelyn Livingston Billings AM, DCSG, MBBS (Melb), DCH (Lond) aged 95 after a short illness.

A press release can be downloaded from: WOOMB International.

Dr Lyn, as we all knew her, together with her husband, Dr John Billings, developed the Billings Ovulation Method™ of natural fertility regulation. Her studies on breastfeeding mothers and women approaching menopause made a major contribution to this work.

She was the author of the best selling non-fiction book 'The Billings Method', first published in 1980. This book was reprinted 16 times with 7 new or revised editions. The latest completely revised edition was published in 2011. Access to this book, published in 22 languages, made the Billings Method a household name and gave hope to millions of couples throughout the world.

She is survived by 8 of her 9 children, 39 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren. We thank God for her life and work and for the privilege and joy of having known her, and we rejoice that she is now reunited with John to enjoy together their eternal reward.

    • Billings Ovulation Method™

    • What is the Billings Ovulation Method™?

      The Billings Ovulation Method™ is a simple yet scientific method of Natural Family Planning. Ongoing research has been conducted in Australia, Sweden and Spain since it was developed over 50 years ago by physicians John and Lyn Billings of Melbourne, Australia.

      Couples using the Billings Ovulation Method™ track the woman's natural and unique signs of fertility and infertility each day. Based on the primary observation of sensation, four simple rules are applied within the woman's cycle (the first three rules are used before ovulation and the fourth rule is applied once the fertile phase is over) based on a couple's desire to achieve or postpone pregnancy.

      As published in numerous journals including, Lancet, Contraception, Fertility and Sterility, British Medical Journal, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as by the World Health Organization, the Billings Ovulation Method™ is 99.5% percent effective in postponing pregnancy, providing couples follow the guidelines correctly.

      To learn more, please explore our web site or visit http://www.thebillingsovulationmethod.org/ for more of the scientific basis behind the Billings Ovulation Method™. A sampling of effectiveness studies can be found here.
