Naturally Monitor Fertility Using CycleBeads
Looking for a more natural way to plan or prevent pregnancy? CycleBeads are a color-coded string of beads that represent a woman’s menstrual cycle. Each bead represents a day of your cycle and the color helps you to determine which day pregnancy is likely to occur.
How CycleBeads work:
Move the black marker over the color-coded bead that represents fertile and low fertility days. Each day move the ring one bead forward in the direction of the arrow located on the clasp. If the ring is on a colored bead, there is a low likelihood of pregnancy and if on the white bead the probability of conceiving is high.
This inexpensive method is easy to use and most importantly more than 95% effective when used correctly. CycleBeads is the most natural way to identify potentially fertile days. No medications, no side effects!
Seasons strives to keep you informed and educated on the issues that concern you. We are happy to offer our patients CycleBeads as a more natural approach to monitoring fertility.

Essure Permanent Birth Control
Essure is the first and only FDA approved permanent birth control procedure to have zero pregnancies in clinical trails. With Essure, Dr. Goodyear inserts spring-like coils, called micro-inserts, through the body’s natural pathways (vagina, cervix, and uterus) and into your fallopian tubes. There is absolutely no cutting or burning of your body during this procedure!
During the first three months following the procedure, your body and the micro-inserts work together to form a tissue barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg. After these three months, Dr. Goodyear will perform an Essure Confirmation Test, a special type of x-ray to confirm that your tubes are completely blocked and that you can rely on the Essure micro-inserts for birth control.
The benefits included:
- No cutting into the body so there are no unattractive scars.
- 99.80% effective (based on 4 years of clinical data)
- Quick return to normal activities
- This procedure is performed in-office with minimal anesthesia.
- No hormones or silicone to interfere with your body
o Unlike birth control pills, patches, rings, and some forms of IUDs, Essure does not contain hormones to interfere with your natural menstrual cycle.
o Your periods should more or less continue in their normal state.
- Peace of mind with the Essure Confirmation Test.
I am late for my period. Am I pregnant?
I often tell you to call your doctor without hesitation. And you should. We’re here to help. We’re happy to help.
However, you don’t need you doctor to tell if you are pregnant!
If your period is late, wait one full week after the time you expect your period to start, then check with any over-the-counter urine pregnancy test.
If your test is positive, call your doctor to set an appointment.
And congratulations!
