This Lerning Manual explains the meaning of al the icons (picture language) and its use within the sympto application. It is a step by step guide which also provides more information about your cycle. So in order to get the most out of the Manual and to be satisfied with the whole system, you really have to assimilate the biological laws of your cycle, described by the Symptothermal Method STM.

Our suggestion: After viewing the flash videos on contraception and conception you will gain much by studying the SymptoTherm Basics booklet. You should also be aware of the fact that you are not alone when choosing this natural way and that you can contact a symptothermal counsellor wherever you are in the world. She can advise you and instruct you according to your needs and she will encourage you. We are also willing to answer any questions you might have. Perhaps you prefer discussing them on the Forum or on symptos.ch

sympto.ch enables you to take charge of your fertility in all gynecological situations, also during breastfeeding and premenopause and to precisely identify your fertile and infertile days. You cannot delegate your fertility to sympto.ch.

The data you enter into sympto.ch solely depend on the accuracy of your own observations. We can only encourage you to become aware of the functioning of your cycles, as has been described in the scientific literature and in the chapter Clinical Tests. Do not forget that you are responsible for the truthfulness of your own observations which represent the calculation material of sympto engine.

To help you and to motivate you, the sympto-application is in the default Pilot Mode. There, all the vital information is displayed at the right time and the right place, except the instruction for handling the disturbed temperature takings which you will find in the User's Manual. As long as you do not consider yourself as an expert, do stay in this Pilot Mode.
