-
Using the Symptothermal Method, can I have unprotected sex and not get pregnant?Yes, as long as you are consistent and follow the rules to the letter. It is also VERY IMPORTANT to remember that the Symptothermic Method does not protect us from any Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) since it is a natural method, not a barrier one.
-
Do I need to know anything about menstrual issues before I start learning the Syntothermal Method?No. Obviously it helps to have previous knowledge, but it is not a requirement. In this course you will be given all the necessary information so that you can use the Method effectively (from the most basic to the most "complicated").
-
Is the Symptothermic Method the Rhythm or Calendar Method?NO NO NO. The Rhythm Method was very useful at the time when it was developed in 1924 (almost 100 years ago!) but the truth is that it is now a bit outdated. This method was based on regular cycles and calculations. Instead, the Symptothermal Method is based on daily observation and specific rules based on scientific research.
-
Can I use the Symptothermal Method if I am using/taking any hormonal contraceptive?No. Synthetic hormones "sleep" our fertility by suppressing our cycles. This prevents us from looking at our actual biomarkers and identifying the phases of our cycle. You can take the course to learn the theory, but you won't be able to apply the method until you stop taking birth control.

Is the Syntothermic Method useful for me even if I don't have a partner?Of course. The method is not only used for contraception. If you are single, you can use it for the sole purpose of understanding your cycle and gathering important information about your hormonal and reproductive health.
-
Can I take the Symptothermal Method course if I have just stopped taking hormonal contraceptives?Yeah! In fact, it's a great idea. After stopping synthetic hormones, your cycle can take a few months to recover and "regulate", but thanks to the Method, you can know exactly what is happening with your body to avoid doubts or scares. I will accompany you and guide you in this process while your fertility fully awakens.

It has been shown that relationships as a couple improve after taking this course together. Fertility is a matter of two, one alone cannot conceive a child. It's wonderful that both of you are actively involved in family planning.
