The Natural Methods of Family Planning are:

• Basal Body Temperature – a woman takes her body temperature everyday upon waking up
with a thermometer and records the reading on a chart. Effectiveness: 99%
• Mucus Method – a woman observes daily changes in the appearance of mucus and the feeling
of dryness or wetness and records these on a chart. Effectiveness: 97%
• Sympto-thermal Method – a combination of body temperature and mucus observations.
Effectiveness: 98%
• Standard Days Method – identifies Cycle Days eight to nineteen (8-19) for women with cycles
of 26 to 32 days, using colored beads to guide her so the couple know her fertile and infertile
days. Effectiveness: 95%
How to use SDM:
1. Show the SDM beads. Explain what it means.
• The whole set represents a whole menstrual cycle.
• Every bead represents a day in the cycle.
2. Beads are color-coded:
• Red – first day of menstruation
• Brown – infertile days, no pregnancy will result
• White (or green if using vertical beads)- days when intercourse can result in pregnancy
• Dark brown - the mark that will tell you if your cycle is shorter than 26 days, and that your
menstruation is expected within the last beads. When menstruation comes again, go back to
the red bead. This is the start of a new cycle.

• Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) – for breastfeeding women who meet the three (3)
conditions: full or exclusive breastfeeding, no menses since childbirth, and baby is less than six
(6) months. 99.5% effective.
 • TwoDay Method – a woman needs to know if she has secretions today and yesterday. When
she has two (2) consecutive days of no secretions, she is considered infertile. Any secretions felt
today or yesterday signifies she is fertile. Effectiveness: 96%

There are generally three types of population pyramids created from age-sex distributions-- expansive,
constrictive and stationary. Examples of these three types of population pyramids appear at the end of
this report. Definitions of the three types follow: 1. EXPANSIVE population pyramids show larger
numbers or percentages of the population in the younger age groups, usually with each age group
smaller in size or proportion than the one born before it. These types of pyramids are usually found in
populations with very large fertility rates and lower than average life expectancies. The age-sex
distributions of Latin American and many Third World countries would probably display expansive
population pyramids. 2. CONSTRICTIVE population pyramids display lower numbers or percentages of
younger people. The age-sex distributions of the United States and Pennsylvania fall into this type of
pyramid. 3. STATIONARY or near-stationary population pyramids display somewhat equal numbers or
percentages for almost all age groups. Of course, smaller figures are still to be expected at the oldest
age groups. The age-sex distributions of some European countries, especially Scandinavian ones, will
tend to fall into this category.
