Sympto-Thermal Methods (STM)
The methods that observe several signs of fertility and cross-check two or more of the signs to pinpoint ovulation are commonly called the "Sympto-Thermal Method" or "STM." STM combines charting of the Basal Body Temperature (BBT), cervical mucus, and cervical changes as well as secondary signs of fertility (breast tenderness, etc.). The Diocese of Lafayette approves Sympto-Thermal through Couple to Couple League (CCLI) and Sympto-Pro through Northwest Family Services (NWFS).
