Fertility Awareness‒Based Methods of Contraception
Symptothermal method
The symptothermal method combines daily measurement of basal body temperature (which increases after ovulation), cervical mucus assessment, and the standard days method. Intercourse is avoided from the first day requiring abstinence according to the standard days method until 3 days after the amount of cervical mucus decreases and temperature increases.
