Menstrual Cycle Charting

The Symptothermal Method

NFP as in myNFP stands for "Natural Family Planning", which is an umbrella term for several non-hormonal methods of birth control, for example the temperature method, the cervical mucus method and others. The "Symptothermal Method" is the safest of these non-hormonal methods and has been well researched for over 30 years. Some people refer to NFP as Fertility Awareness (FA, or sometimes FAM).

The myNFP App is intended to assist you with the Symptothermal Method for conception or for birth control. It is important that you understand the rules of the Symptothermal Method, especially if you want to use it for birth control. But also if you are planning to conceive, you must know what happens with your body during the female cycle to use the app effectively.

Important: We provide an introduction to the Symptothermal Method in German at our main website and are working on a complete English translation. Until we are done, please refer to other explanations of the Symptothermal Method, if you are unfamiliar with the method.
