• Initial Instruction (1h - 1h30) : learn about the phases of the menstrual cycle, how to observe cervical mucus and how to keep the chart, and the Rules of the Method to avoid or achieve pregnancy.
• Start observing and charting your cervical mucus for two weeks without genital contact.
• Follow ups (30 min - 1h30) : check in with your instructor every two weeks to understand your pattern, until you are confidently charting. Then you can check in every cycle until you can apply the Rules of the Method autonomously.

• Unit 3 (2h) : learn how to determine the infertile time before ovulation, and how to observe your cervix if you wish to do so.
