Natural contraception, three common methods to know!

Contraception is intended to avoid damage to the body caused by miscarriage, but natural contraception, also known as natural family planning, does not fall into the category of scientific contraception. The main purpose of natural contraception is safe contraception. This method of contraception is relatively safe and has no side effects on the human body.

1. Cervical mucus observation method

The properties, form and secretion amount of cervical mucus are affected by estrogen and change cyclically. When a woman feels dryness at the vaginal opening, or has no special sensation, or cannot see any cervical mucus, it is considered a safe period. When the vaginal opening starts to feel moist, or cervical mucus is found at the vaginal opening, it is considered the dangerous period. The day when cervical mucus secretion is the largest, the most stringy, and the most lubricated is called the cervical mucus peak. Three days after the peak period, that is, the fourth day begins to be considered the safe period after ovulation.

2. Forensic principles of basal body temperature

Basal body temperature, also known as resting body temperature. Typically, the body temperature measured immediately after waking up from a deep sleep in the morning is called basal body temperature.

Basal body temperature is a unique physiological characteristic of women. From the onset of menstruation to ovulation, the basal body temperature is relatively low. After ovulation, the basal body temperature will suddenly rise by 0.3 degrees Celsius to 0.5 degrees Celsius, and then the basal body temperature measured daily will remain high until the eve of the next menstruation, when the body temperature will drop back to the original level.

Therefore, by charting the basal body temperature curve, the time of ovulation can be captured. Since the 1950s, basal body temperature has been widely used in medicine to determine women's ovulation function and corpus luteum function.

3. Intelligent basal body temperature method

The intelligent basal body temperature method refers to the combination of the basal body temperature method principle and advanced computer software technology, so that every woman can accurately, simply and quickly apply basal body temperature to natural contraception.
