The more sensitive a woman becomes, the more the side effects of chemical contraception become a burden to the organism. If you are reading this, you will already know what we are talking about. We want to seduce you into natural family planning with PERIMON, and we are happy to be able to introduce you to alternatives to hormonal contraception, which have already stood the test. Get informed and decide which one is right for you. If you are advanced and self dependent, you can individually combine different methods according to your needs. PERIMON for example can be used on its own, or in combination with other methods, which we recommend. Complementary methods are for example the mucus method, cervix method or temperature method. In our opinion natural family planning is a matter of habit, that centres around the question, whether one musters a certain amount of discipline to do something good for oneself and one's body, or whether one prefers to pin one's hopes on chemical intervention.
After 13 cycles PERIMON acts in full function. From this moment in time a high efficiency is possible at any time. Yet the efficiency is directly associated with the orderliness of your cycles. The more constant your cycles are, the clearer the forecasts can be.
You'd better ask PERIMON safe enough for my needs, because contraception can always fail. PERIMON operates very cautious: If you use PERIMON only with the rhythm method, we estimate the Pearl index by comparision to 3.8 or better (a good safety). If you additionally examine your mucus or cervix on the days in question - which is easy to do - safety will increase up to 1.0 (details). Whenever there is a case of doubt PERIMON goes for safety. This means that potentially only a few days will be marked as most likely infertile*. Contraception safety is in great parts a balance between safety and a maximum of infertile days. The today's safest method is the symto-thermal natural family planning (NFP), where you daily measure your temperature. Look into the alternatives and find your way of contraception. We are glad to be of help.
Even though this isn't a question we would like to answer it. If you are nevertheless interested in natural contraception free of hormones kindly have a closer look at the sympto-thermal method, or if you don't want to calculate and interpret the data by yourself have a look at cycle computers. We recommend the Cyclotest® (general info about cycle computers - regrettably only in German).
Currently we can only answer as follows: Kindly print the calendar (a button is on every footer of a page), place it next to your bed and mark the critical days with the standard mucus symbols ø, w, S, S+ (nothing, wet, creamy, spinnable). You will notice that the days in question are already labeled with ovulation. If more interest in PERIMON arises we will be able to expand PERIMON's functionality.
Service needs payment. We know that this rule is not always transparent in the world wide web and payment often takes place by the detour of advertisements. However from whatever angle you look at it the costs arisen so far will certainly not be covered again (with the current pricing amounting to monthly fees below one Euro).
