The Sympto-Thermal Method for Natural Contraception

The Sympto-Thermal Method for Contraception

The Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) is a user based method, meaning that its effectiveness depends on your application of it. It is endorsed by the World Health Organisation and is deemed to be 99% effective, which is the same efficacy rate as the oral contraceptive pill. It is the most reliable fertility awareness based method for contraception because it uses double check indicators to ascertain the fertile window in each individual cycle, for each individual woman.

The benefits of STM reach far beyond contraception:

Gain information about your hormone levels
Accurately predict when your period will come
Understand your physiological changes throughout your cycle
Address pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)

I had 3 appointments with Emily learn the Symptothermal method, and she is absolutely incredible!! She has such a wealth of knowledge and makes charting so easy to understand, plus she is so lovely to chat with! I would highly recommend booking in with Emily if you want to chart your cycle - she makes you feel so guided and secure. Thank you so much!!

Honestly working with Emily was simply fantastic. Her explanation, information and answering of all my questions was clear, concise and super easy to understand. I started with Emily after tracking my cycle (self-taught) for a year and never feeling I could really get the hang of it. The information was adapted to help me brush up on things I already knew, and I learnt lots more! I've come away from our sessions with a super clear understanding of how to track my signs, chart them, and interpret/mark my chart for effective avoidance of pregnancy. I highly recommend working with Emily, no matter where you are on your fertility tracking journey. I feel very inspired and engaged, and hope to join Emily in this field in the future. Thank you!
