BILLINGS OVULATION

METHOD
DEVELOPMENT

It began in Melbourne in 1953

Use of Rhythm and BBT Methods
However…
Existing methods were ineffective
Contraceptive pills were actively
promoted
This led to the study of the Cervical
Mucus by Dr. John Billings
In 1962, Dr. James Brown discovered
a way to measure Estrogen and
Progesterone metabolites in urine.
In 1964, the joint studies of Dr.
Billings and Dr. Brown were
published.
The new method was called the
Ovulation Method.
Dr. Evelyn Billings also contributed to the
current research by broadening the concept
of infertility.
In 1970, Dr. Erik Odeblad shared to the
world his findings regarding Cervical
Mucus.
Dr. Odeblad and Dr. Brown’s research only
proved that the new Ovulation method is
flawless since it follows the woman’s
physiologic patterns.
The WHO recognized and promoted
the new method and attached the
name Billings after the person/s who
discovered it.
The method is now currently known
as the Billings Ovulation Method.
