When women are doing fertility awareness there are risks that might happen. While there are not a lot of risks women should still know about them.

The risk for fertility awareness include but not limited to:

- Unplanned pregnancy might happen despite all efforts of prevention. 

- Mood swings from stress and hormone imbalance.

When the egg is being fertilized women should not have sex during that time and that can take around 5 days before the ovulation. During this time the calendar method should be avoided unless if used with other methods for women who are trying to avoid getting pregnant.

Sometimes women might experience mood swings while trying to plan everything themselves due to frustration and stress. If a lot of focus is put on it without the help from a doctor or therapist then there is a higher chance for unplanned pregnancy.
