Symptothermal Method (SMT) of natural family planning is a method that helps you observe three main indicators of fertility, changes in basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus changes and your own calendar calculation. Individual minor indicators of fertility are observed and used, help to more accurately recognize ovulation time.

SMT allows a woman to be more accurate in predicting her "safe days" than if she were to use any one of the methods alone. When using these methods together, the signs of one can be used to confirm those of the others. Combining methods also permits sexual relations during the early "dry days", and shortens the period of abstinence necessary for complete protection compared to using the BBT method alone.



Characteristics

SMT offers a natural alternative – a non-interventionist, drug free and effective way to manage fertility.
