  1. Session Two Review Cervical signs Secondary signs Achieving and identifying pregnancy Sympto-Thermal Rule 6-5-0 Day Rule Effectiveness

  2. Possibly Fertile Time

  3. Let Your Cervix SHOW You When You Are Fertile

  4. Charting the Cervix

  5. Charting the Cervical Mucus at the Cervix

  6. Do Activities #5a and #5b • After reviewing the tissue examination and the sensation observation, turn to pages 10-12 and complete the activities.

  7. Secondary Signs IP BT BT BT IP = Intermenstrual Pain BT = Breast Tenderness

  8. Achieving Pregnancy

  9. Identifying Pregnancy

  10. Implantation Process

  11. Unborn Child Unborn child at 14 weeks

  12. Let’s Say Peak Day Is Here… PK

  13. The Temperature Pattern May Look Like This:

  14. Watch for 3 Temperatures in a Row…

  15. All higher than immediately preceding 6… 2 5 1 6 3 4

  16. To separate the “initial” highs from the “final” lows 2 5 6 1 3 4

  17. Draw a Pre-Rise Baseline through the highest of the final 6 lows PRB 2 5 1 3 6 4

  18. Full Thermal Shift Level is 0.4°F above the PRB FTSL .4°F PRB *FTSL = 0.36° F/0.2° C

  19. CITstarts the evening of the 3rdpost-peak high in a row, if it is on or above the FTSL. PK FTSL .4° F PRB 2 5 1 6 3 4

  20. If the 3rd post-peak high is not on or above the FTSL, wait until the evening of the 4th post-peak high to assume the CIT.

  21. Completely Infertile Time

  22. 6-5-0 Day Rule

  23. 6-5-0 Day Rule

  24. 6-5-0 Day Rule Application Shortest Past Cycle Assume Infertile • 26 days or longer 6 days • 23-25 days 5 days • 22 days or less 0 days (for now)

  25. What Do You Think?

  26. Do Activity #6 • With this activity you will be applying both the 6-5-0 Day Rule and the Sympto-Thermal Rule. Pay attention to the cycle length as well as the charting data. • Indicate the beginning and end of the fertile time with the use of “wavy” lines. • Mark the Peak Day, 6 low temperatures, the PRB, Full Thermal Shift Line (.4oF), and the necessary encircled high temperatures.

  27. Range of Ovulation

  28. Surprise Pregnancy?

  29. Reasons for Using NFP Philosophical/Religious Moral/Ethical Psychology Biological

  30. Definitions • Method Effectiveness • Rules are correctly understood and followed • Use Effectiveness • Actual use including misunderstanding and carelessness

  31. NFP Effectiveness • Method Effectiveness – 97-99+ percent • Use Effectiveness – 90-99+ percent

  32. Factors that Affect Use of Family Planning Methods • Family planning intention • limiting, spacing, achieving • Marital status • Age • Education

  33. Use Effectiveness of NFP Depends Upon… • Course of instruction with follow-up • Consistent and correct charting • Knowing and following the rules especially complete abstinence from all genital contact

  34. Family Decision
