The Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) of Natural Family Planning (NFP) offers couples seeking to achieve or avoid a pregnancy a natural alternative to the use of drugs, devices and surgery. It is a healthy, low cost, natural alternative to artificial fertility management which works in harmony with a woman’s natural cycles…
No drugs…No side-effects…No health risks…No devices…NFP supports and encourages couples to take a shared responsibility in their sexual and procreative health. It strengthens communication skills, builds a greater degree of intimacy and increases mutual respect.
MANAGE YOUR FERTILITY EFFECTIVELY AND NATURALLY
Observations of cervical mucus, body temperature and other indicators enable couples to accurately identify the naturally-occurring phases of fertility and infertility. They can then make an informed decision with respect to achieving or avoiding conception. This method is effective regardless of cycle length.

ONE METHOD FOR LIFE
Once learnt, this knowledge can be applied throughout a woman’s life - after birth, during breastfeeding, after artificial birth control measures and throughout peri-menopause.

An important application of NFP is in achieving pregnancy. STM provides information about maximising the chances of conception which frequently assists couples to conceive. It is a healthy alternative that is neither invasive nor as expensive as alternative methods.

Should additional medical assistance be required, the knowledge and recording of the natural signs and symptoms of fertility will assist in the diagnosis of any problems. Natural Fertility Services Melbourne can also refer clients to specialist medical practitioners who are able to help couples experiencing more complex infertility issues.
