While, eighteen days are subtracted from the shortest cycle duration to calculate the first fertile day. During the interval of these fertile days, unprotected sexual intercourse must be avoided. TEMPERATURE RHYTHM METHOD This method predicts the day of ovulation by detecting a slight change in basal body temperature of around 0.4°F days before the ovulation Itis most effective when the couple abstains for unprotected sexual intercourse from the first day of menstruation until the 3° day of increased basal body temperature CERVICAL MUCUS METHOD BILLINGS METHOD: Abstinence is advised from the frst of menstruation until 4 day of slippery mucus discharge. . TWO-DAY METHOD: The woman isnot fertile if she did not note mucus discharge on the day of intercourse or the day prior - SYMPTOTHERMAL METHOD: This combines the cervical mucus method to identify start of fertile period and basal body temperature method to identify end of fertile period.
