Natural Family Planning Instructions:
Sympto-Thermal Method
You need detailed instructions in all Natural Family Planning Methods.  This is to give you an overview and basics so you can make a choice.
No single Natural Method works reliably enough to avoid unintended pregnancy.  However, combing the different methods in one called the Sympto-Thermal Method is much more reliable.  The combination that appears to be the most accurate is Basal Body Temperature, Cervical Mucus, and the Calendar Methods.  This will give you less 'unsafe' days.

It may seem as though you are juggling a lot of different things, but once you develop a routine you will find it easier.

Chart your basal body temperature and Mucus quality daily on a graph similar to this. 
You can download a blank one in HTML Format that you can print out from your browser by clicking the chart.  You will need an unzipping program to extract it.  An evaluation version is available free on their web site.
YOU MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERENT TO ALL THE THINGS NEEDED FOR THIS METHOD TO WORK FOR YOU.
