Does your fertile window calculation account for the fact that sperm can live for 5 days?
The main problem I have with the symptothermal method is that it means the woman only has sex when she least wants to, i.e. outside the fertile window. Having sex during your period is the worst and after it ends there's only a couple of days before you hit 5 days before ovulation.

But a caveat is that sperm can ONLY live for 5 days during the fertile window when fertile cervical fluid is present. > The main problem I have with the symptothermal method is that it means the woman only has sex when she least wants to, i.e. outside the fertile window. Well, if a woman is on the pill, she is ALWAYS outside the fertile window i.e. has a depressed libido.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoYeah, this explains it well enough: http://www.drnorthrup.com/womenshealth/healthcenter/topic_details.php?topic_id=128 http://www.drnorthrup.com/womenshealth/healthcenter/topic_de...
- cbhl 13y agoWell, damn. TIL. Now I'm wondering if there is an interaction between anti-depressants and the pill.
