My FI and I attended information sessions on both creighton and sympto-thermal NFP methods and are now deciding which one we'd like to practice. I'm curious to know what factors influenced others to choose one or the other. Here's what I'm thinking right now:
Sympto-Thermal: I like that it utilizes two different sets of data - temp and mucous; however, I'm worried we might not to well keeping a routine of taking my temp. It seemed that mucous signs are of secondary importance in this method (the presenters said interpreting the qualities of the mucous is subjective, and thus less reliable), but since the class I've been paying attention to this and think I would be able to 'interpret' well.
Creighton: Again, I think I could do well being aware of mucous signs. I also like that this method is closely aligned with an overall awareness of women's health and will use charts to cue in on potential health issues (didn't seem like Sympto-Thermal really offered this); still, I'm wondering if just one means of data collection could be a weakness to this method.
How did you choose which one? I know it's a personal choice so I'm not hoping for anyone to make my decision fo rme..I'd just appreciate hearing how you figured out what was best for you.
