How important is the symptothermal method when you want to
have a baby?
For couples who want to have a baby the time of the greatest capa-
bility of conception is important. The chance of pregnancy exists only
when sperm cells capable of fertilising find a fertilisable egg cell.
The symptoms mentioned – nature of cervical mucus and increase in
LH concentration – point to a fertilisable egg cell. Your fertilisability
ends when the temperature high stabilises after ovulation.
In this event, no babies are indicated in the cyclotest® baby display.
Change in cervical mucus
The nature of the cervical mucus at the neck of the uterus changes
shortly prior to ovulation. When this change is detected (spinnbarkeit
- stretchability), the corresponding day must be marked in the current
cycle.
A certain amount of experience is required to assess the cervical mu-
cus. NFP advice centres (NFP = Natural Family Planning) can offer the
necessary help in this respect. We will be pleased to send you a list of
selected advice centres on request.
