What Is

Symptothermal Method?

Symptothermal method (STM) is a fertility awareness-based method of family planning that uses a woman's observations of her physiological signs of fertility to determine the fertile and infertile phases of her menstrual cycle.

The "sympto" in symptothermal refers to symptoms, specifically changes in cervical mucus, and the "thermal" refers to basal body temperature (BBT). STM may be used to avoid or to plan a pregnancy.
