F. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Remember that the thermometer is designed only to help determine when ovulation has occurred.
Mucus observations, as noted in Section VIII "THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE", can also be
helpful when recorded as shown on the sample chart. Notation of these changes, in addition to your
temperature pattern, will assist your physician or counselor in providing you with proper guidance.
It is commonly suggested that couples who have had difficulty in achieving pregnancy should not
have intercourse more than once a day, nor on consecutive days, in order to maintain satisfactory
quantities of sperm. The most fertile time continues up through the first day of drying up of the
mucus, or the first day of temperature elevation, whichever comes later.
The temperature record should be maintained on a daily basis. If pregnancy is achieved, the basal
temperature will remain elevated for several months. A temperature pattern that remains elevated
for 21 days (a week or more than the usual elevated pattern) is a good indicator that pregnancy has
been achieved. If you do not become pregnant after six months, see your doctor. If you believe you
are pregnant, see your doctor immediately.
IX. AVOIDING PREGNANCY WITH NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING
In natural family planning, there are several ways of determining the end of pre-ovulation fertility
and the beginning of post-ovulation infertility.
Professionals teaching natural family planning claim most unplanned pregnancies occur during
pre-ovulation infertility. This booklet does not include guidelines for natural family planning, since it
is beyond the scope of this booklet.
Your Ovulation digital thermometer only helps you determine when ovulation has occurred.
Calculating infertile periods involves other bodily signs in addition to temperature change and
requires professional guidance when avoidance of pregnancy is your objective.

XI. ACCURACY/RELIABILITY
The effectiveness of the methods outlined for seeking and avoiding pregnancy depend on factors
such as a woman’s individual reactions, the accuracy with which daily temperatures and other
symptoms are recorded, and the absence of outside factors which may affect body temperature.
Consequently, no representation of any kind can be made by the distributor as to the reliability of the
result obtained in any individual case, and the patient is urged to consult with and be guided by the
advice of her physician or counselor in the use of the Ovulation Digital Thermometer.
