I stopped the pill in November and yes I am still paranoid. But I believe in the cycle beads. They use them in some third world countries by the way. There is a more expensive method that is a computer, which takes your temp.

This computer is based on the same studies as the cycle beads... That most women are on a 28-32 day cycle and they can only become pregnant on certain days. I wish I could afford the computer but for now cycle beads....which can be even cheaper if you make them yourself.
Zinfandel...Did you use them perfectly?
I am talking about cycle beads....not charting temps. It is all about THE STANDARD DAYS METHOD.
When used perfectly according to my previous oral contraceptive packet info sheet
The Pill has a 1% failure rate=about 99% chance of not becoming pregnant
Male Condoms have a 14% failure rate = about 86% chance of not becoming pregnant
According to cyclebeads.com :
The Institute's research found that when used correctly, the Standard Days Method is more than 95% effective in helping women avoid pregnancy.
The Standard Days Method works best for women who have regular menstrual cycles between 26 and 32 days long. Days 8 through 19 of their cycles are the days these women are likely to get pregnant if they have unprotected intercourse. On other days of their cycles, pregnancy is very unlikely....
And then http://www.naturalcontraceptions.com/index.php
99.3% reliable.
I urge everyone to do the research to make the best decision for oneself. There are so many stories people have and everyone is different. We all are doing the best we can...whether it be "the pill" or natural methods. Research The Standard Days Method.
PLEASE EXCUSE MY TYPO....in the very first comment. It is indeed a 26-32 day cycle for The Standard Days Method....(I guess I'm used to my 28 day cycle.) Thank you!
Thanks court4short! I am excited to research this Fertility Awareness Method...is it the based on The Standard Days Method?
And, where did you start another stream?
Thanks so much for your imput! exciting...something new to learn :)
