Natural Contraception
Did you know your body has a built-in contraceptive method? You are not fertile everyday of your cycle and you can learn your signs of fertility!
Our Natural Contraception course teaches a symptothermal method of fertility awareness, which has been found to be up to 99.6% effective when taught by a qualified instructor.
Detailed Information
There are several methods that fall under the umbrella term of Fertility Awareness Based Methods (FABMs). Each has its own way of identifying the fertile time in the menstrual cycle. A symptothermal method uses three bio-indicators (cervical mucous, cervical position and basal body temperature) to determine the level of fertility on any given day. This is not the rhythm method (calendar or algorithm) which uses a calculation rule to determine the fertile window.
We know that bodies are unique and cycles are not computers, which is why we need daily data when determining something as important as avoiding pregnancy!
