What is Cycle Mapping?
Cycle Mapping Method
The Cycle Mapping Method is a single check, sympto-thermal fertility awareness-based method (FABM). It involves a daily practice of taking your morning temperature, observing your cervical fluid throughout the day, and observing the position and sensation of your cervix. All of this information is entered onto a chart or "map" to provide you with an understanding of what is happening in your body and cycle. The guidelines help you make informed, autonomous decisions around sex, avoiding or achieving pregnancy, and managing your cycle health.
Charting your cycle inherently teaches you foundational knowledge about your body that can help you manage your health, be an advocate for your body, get to the ROOT CAUSE, and make informed, holistic decisions for your wellbeing.

Is cycle mapping effective at preventing unplanned pregnancy?
Yes! I teach an additional calculation rule that the user may choose to incorporate into their charting practice to make it even more conservative for avoiding pregnancy. This would be called a double-check sympto-thermal method. The most well-known and reputable study supporting the sympto-thermal method found a 99.4-99.6% efficacy rate with perfect use, and a 98.2% efficacy rate with typical use.* See the chart to compare efficacy rates of various contraceptive methods.
