- John_and_Evelyn_Billings abstract "Dr. John Billings, AM, KC*SG, FRCP, FRACP (5 March 1918 – 1 April 2007) and his wife Evelyn Billings (née Livingston) DCSG (8 February 1918 – 16 February 2013) were Australian physicians who pioneered the natural method of family planning known initially as the Ovulation Method, then the Ovulation Method Billings,specified by the WHO in 1978 and finally as the Billings Ovulation Method™.John Billings was born in Melbourne and was educated at Xavier College, and at the University of Melbourne where he received his Doctor of Medicine degree.He married Evelyn Livingston in 1943, and they had nine children. He served as a medical doctor with the Australian Imperial Force in New Guinea during World War II. In 1947, John Billings was awarded a Nuffield Fellowship for postgraduate studies in London, where he specialised in neurology. On his return to Australia, he was made Head of the Department of Neurology at St Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne, and Dean of the Undergraduate Medical School within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Melbourne. He was an exceptional clinician and teacher, and served on the Australian Medical Research Council.In 1953, he began work on a method of natural family planning, involving observation of several indicators of fertility and infertility, gradually focusing on the changes to cervical mucus patterns of sensation. His wife, Dr. Evelyn "Lyn" Billings, became involved from 1963. The couple founded the World Organisation of the Ovulation Method Billings (WOOMB) as the body responsible for teaching the method throughout the world. Although Billings maintained his career as a consulting neurologist to St Vincent's Hospital, he and his wife spent a large part of each year traveling to other countries, and training teachers in the Billings Ovulation Method™, lecturing to doctors and students, and establishing teaching centers. The Method pioneered by the Billings was approved by both the Catholic Church and used by the World Health Organization. It was the only natural method accepted by the Chinese Government.".
