This is about a fantastic invention: the Cyclotest
If you no longer want to use hormonal contraception, then it is first time confronted with the question: what else? Since I currently want to leave do not infringe my body (ie spiral or GyneFix) I have worked myself into the symptothermal method. With the appropriate technical literature. But was soon clear to me that I indeed satisfied with the principle, but it is simply too costly. After researching on the internet I ended up at Cyclotest. This works according to the temperature method is the most reliable of the cycle computer and easy to operate.
But how does that work now?
On the first day of menstruation pressing the cycle start button. From the next morning still measuring his temperature before getting up. This takes about 1 minute and is preferably measured in the mouth. The Cyclotest beeps when it has finished measuring and stores the temperature.
From the second cycle (in some apparently already in the first cycle, with me not) the infertile time after ovulation is expected to show the Cyclotest already, starting from when. At the start of the cycle it is initially released only 5 days. Incidentally, this is analogous to NFP Rules (NFP = Natural Family Planning). Once he has learned several cycles, it is also the beginning of a cycle more days off, so is barren on. Once he has learned 12 cycles, it is most effective. So actually shows only the really risky time to ovulation as fertile or highly fertile in.
Practically I find the built-in alarm clock. In the first measurement in each cycle it defines the measurement time. Around this time, wakes me the Cyclotest then each morning. But can be switched off also. If you want to sleep on the weekend times longer, but that's no problem, there is a time window of four hours at the specified time of measurement. Thus, up to two hours before or up to two hours thereafter, the measurement is also possible.
I must confess, I was disappointed in the first cycle. In the manual is that it detects ovulation and then displays infertile. That was not the case with me. In the first cycle, he has always shown fruitful. As long as it indicates fruitful, one must also measure (ie in my case the whole cycle). Surprisingly, he gave me but shown on the second cycle, when the barren voraussichlich time will be after ovulation. So he had recognized him. I have all verified, because I still have bought the software and have evaluated one cycle after NFP Rules.
At first I hard about whether I should not buy a used Cyclotest me. If after all cheaper than a new and yes, I did not know if my worth his salt at all. I have but then decided against it. Namely, from the very simple reason: it is then yes, the cycles of another woman saved. And Cyclotest calculated times now from the old cycles when vorraussichtlich will be the highly fertile period. This of course can only get out of cheese when it cycles from someone else intends to find, should be clear. Then rather a new and he can learn from the outset with my cycles. One can the Cyclotest although can be reset, but that only makes the manufacturers themselves.
So all in all, highly recommended! For reliable application displays only the days on which must be prevented abstemious or otherwise. This only a few days in the cycle. The Cyclotest does not engage in the body or the hormonal balance. And you learn your body and its cycle better know (if you want them to). I can also recommend the software. Again to see the whole thing as a curve and evaluate yourself if necessary, just fun.
