Basal body temperature? Cervical mucus? And what is actually the Symptothermal Method? Anna, the founder of ovolution<\/a>, tells us! She fills us in on the benefits of the Symptothermal Method, the best way to get off your contraceptive pill, and her new ovolution app. You\u2019ve always wanted to learn the best way to track your fertile days? Then read on!<\/p>

Can you please introduce yourself briefly?<\/h3>\n\n

Hello, I\u2019m Anna, NFP consultant following Sensiplan, founder of ovolution<\/a> and mother of a two-year-old. I grew up knowing about my natural cycle, because my parents learned about Natural Family Planning (NFP)<\/a> when they met. They counsel and train to become NFP counsellors according to Sensiplan\u00ae<\/a>. The natural cycle, difficult cycles and cycle disorders<\/a> have therefore always been a topic at the kitchen table with us.<\/p>\n\n

In 2012, I then decided to also complete the training to become an NFP counsellor after Sensiplan\u00ae to pass on this knowledge.<\/p>\n\n

How did you come up with the idea for ovolution?<\/h3>\n\n

I had the first ideas for founding ovolution<\/a> after my son was born in 2020. During parental leave, my desire to do something meaningful became stronger and stronger. With ovolution, I want to educate about NFP and the natural cycle<\/a>. I want to help menstruators<\/a> make self-determined and informed decisions about their cycle.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

What is special about the ovolution app? What makes it different from other cycle apps?<\/h3>

The ovolution app<\/a> enables menstruating people to learn the rules of Natural Family Planning. This allows them to use contraception safely and self-determined or to specifically aim for pregnancy<\/a>.<\/p>

There are very few cycle apps that are based on the NFP rules<\/a>. These usually evaluate for the menstruating whether they are in the fertile time or not. However, they do not say why they evaluate this way. The rules remain non-transparent, and errors cannot be traced or corrected by the user.<\/p>

What exactly is the Symptothermal Method?<\/h3>

In the Symptothermal Method we observe two body signs. The basal body temperature, which is the temperature at which you wake up. And in addition the cervical mucus<\/a> or the cervix<\/a>. This double control distinguishes NFP according to Sensiplan\u00ae from other methods such as the temperature method<\/a> or Billings<\/a>. In terms of method safety, the Symptothermal Method is as safe as the pill<\/a>.<\/p>
