Sympto-Thermal Method (Couple to Couple League)

larger font

The Sympto-Thermal Method relies upon the observation of three useful fertility signs: the cervical mucus, the basal body temperature and the cervix. Couples learn to observe, record, and interpret these signs with a high degree of accuracy. During each cycle, the three signs complement and reinforce each other in forming a positive system of fertility cross checking. The cross checking nature of the Sympto-Thermal Method gives many couples an increased confidence in learning and using the method. The Sympto-Thermal Method is taught by instructors trained by the Couple to Couple League.
