You must have a basic understanding of the Billings Method of natural fertility regulation. You should read the following web page during the first few days: Introduction to the Billings Method.
You must answer the billingsMentor questions pertaining to your fertility history.
You should cease to take contraceptive medication and any patches or implants should have been removed or reached their expiry date before you begin recording your symptoms.
Using barrier methods during intercourse, when intercourse is advised against, can cause confusion. . In any case intercourse should be avoided until billingsMentor indicates that it has recognised your fertility patterns or gives some other advice.Seminal fluids and secretions due to intercourse may delay learning the patterns of your symptoms. The changing developing pattern of symptoms leading to the Peak of fertility can be confused by intercourse. Of course your timing of intercourse will depend on whether you are seeking to achieve or avoid pregnancy.
Read these sections from this manual before entering any observations: Sensation and Appearance.
Beginners should not enter backdated observations because your descriptions of your fertility symptoms are guided by the billingsMentor system. billingsMentor may ask questions that require you to recall details about your observations.
NEVER DO INTERNAL INVESTIGATION TO OBSERVE YOUR FERTILITY SYMPTOMS. ONLY RECORD WHAT YOU SENSE AT THE VULVA AND SEE NORMALLY.
