A birth control or contraceptive method or procedure whereby the time of the month of greatest fertility is determined by careful observation of a woman\u2019s menstrual cycle over an 8-month period and sexual intercourse is avoided during this time. When conception is desired, this method may be helpful in determining the best time for coitus and for fertilization of the ovum to take place.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, there are more scientifically advanced and effective contraceptive methods available in this category.<\/p>\n
