Application for natural
family planning
An egg remains capable of being fer-
tilised for just a few hours after ovula-
tion, sperm remains capable of fertil-
ising an egg for 2-4 days. Fertilisation
of the egg (conception) can therefore
only occur on the last 5 days before
the temperature increase described
above.
Determine the fluctuation of your
ovulation day over several cycles as
exactly as possible – this will provide
you with a good picture of when you
can expect your fertile phase.
If the temperature remains high after
the rise for longer than 18 days, you
are in all probability pregnant.
Temperature method
The "strict form" of the temperature
method (sexual intercourse only from
the third day of the temperature rise
until the next regular period) is almost
as reliable as the pill - by entirely nat-
ural means, without taking medication
or using mechanical (non-hormonal)
measures.

Even the "extended form" of the temper-
ature method is still just as reliable as me-
chanical (non-hormonal) contraceptives.
Here you can also have sexual intercourse
in the period from the start of the regu-
lar period up to six days before the day
of the temperature rise. In exact terms:
From the earliest day of the temperature
rise which you determine from at least
6 successive cycles, count back 6 days.
Symptothermal method
Here the temperature method is
combined with observing a "symptom",
the mucus at the neck of the uterus.
A regular period is usually followed
by a phase of infertile, "dry" days in
which no so-called cervical mucus
can be observed. A few days prior to
the fertile phase the mucus causes
a sticky-moist feeling at the entry to
the vagina. Spinnbarkeit (stretchabil-
ity), clearness and strong fluidity are
characteristic.
If you now make these observations
3-4 days before the temperature rise,
you can be certain that this tempera-
ture rise has occurred in response to
ovulation. To this end, take a look at
your cervical mucus once a day during
the corresponding time period.
