Does this actually work?

Yes! The Symptothermal Method is up to 99.6% effective for pregnancy prevention when used correctly. In Cycle School you’ll begin charting your cycles safely so you can prevent pregnancy with confidence. Our key focus is evidence-based education and gold-standard charting.

Do I need a regular cycle for this to work?

Nope! Whether your cycles are short, long, irregular, or somewhere in between, you’ll learn how to apply the method to your unique body.

I’m not in a relationship – will this still help me?

Yes! You don’t need to be in a relationship to benefit from Cycle School. While we focus on contraception, you’ll also gain incredible body literacy that goes way beyond birth control.

Is Cycle School right for me if I’m a teenager, postpartum, perimenopausal, or experiencing long cycles?

Probably not, if you’re currently in these unique phases of fertility. The course is best suited for people in times of regular fertility. That said, I’ve personally charted 50+ day cycles using this method – it remains highly effective but requires longer periods of abstinence or barrier use.

(Note: If your postpartum cycle has returned and you’ve had at least three periods, Cycle School can work for you.)

I don’t have much time. Can I still join Cycle School?

Yes! Cycle School is self-paced, and you get lifetime access. New videos drip out weekly, but there’s no rush – work through the content at your own pace, whether it’s in weeks, months, or even years.

I’ve tried apps before, and they didn’t work. How is this different?

Great question. Unlike apps that rely on prediction algorithms (which can be wildly inaccurate), the Symptothermal Method teaches you how to read your body’s actual signs of fertility. No guessing, no predictions – just science-backed, real-time knowledge of your cycle.

Will Cycle School be useful if I’m already charting on my own?

Absolutely! Even if you’re already deep into books, apps, or YouTube, there’s nothing like learning directly from a qualified expert. It’ll boost your confidence, fill any knowledge gaps, and give you peace of mind that your charting is safe.

I’m not from Australia and I chart in Fahrenheit – is Cycle School still for me?

Yes, 100%! You can join from anywhere in the world. In Cycle School we cover charting guidelines for both Celsius and Fahrenheit users, although chart examples are shown in Celsius. As long as you’ve got Wi-Fi, you’re good to go!

What version of the Symptothermal Method will I be learning?

You’ll learn my customised, research-backed version of the Symptothermal Method. It’s rooted in the Natural Family Planning Teachers Association (NFPTA) guidelines, but I simplify and tweak things to make it more user-friendly.

Here’s what that looks like:

Calculation rules that actually make sense – We avoid overwhelming you with endless calculations. I teach simplified, conservative calculation rules based on modern research and historical protocols.

BBT that won’t drive you crazy – No confusing adjustments if you sleep in. Plus, I teach a fallback rise rule to help you interpret tricky temps (backed by science).

Cervical mucus, simplified – You’ll learn to observe and describe your mucus in your own words and use a clear three-category system (Dry, Non-Peak, and Peak type). This system works well for people with regular cycles.
