SymptoPro Fertility Education: Serving the Archdiocese of Denver
Online - Self-paced - Instructor Guided
***Course takes approximately 3 months to complete***
About Our Method
SymptoPro™ Fertility Education is an effective, scientifically based method of Natural Family Planning that treats fertility as a normal, healthy process. SymptoPro™ is a Sympto-Thermal Method of Fertility Education based on changes in a woman’s cervical mucus, waking or resting temperature, and cervix. These observable signs change in response to the hormones of the menstrual cycle. It only takes seconds a day for a woman to track her fertility; then the couple interprets the chart and makes a decision based on their family planning intention. SymptoPro™ works through periodic abstinence during the method-defined fertile time for couples who are avoiding a pregnancy. SymptoPro™ can be used effectively throughout a woman’s entire reproductive life. Regular cycles are NOT required. SymptoPro™ is NOT Calendar Rhythm.
About Our Online course
While we do have in-person and online instructors across the US, within the Denver Archdiocese our presence is one of online learning. Our online courses serve our clients in two ways:
- Self-Paced
All course material review and instructor interactions are able to occur in a self-paced manor allowing for couples to learn at home, whenever their scheduling allows.
- Instructor Guided
It is our goal that your online course shares the benefits of in-person learning as much as possible. With that in mind, at the time of registration, you will be assigned a personal instructor. This instructor will guide you throughout your course, being available to address any questions you may have. They will also review your quizzes and follow-up forms communicating with you regularly to assure that you are understanding the materials correctly. Your instructor will be available to you by email as well as phone or video conferencing, allowing you to communicate in whatever way best fits with your comfort level and personal schedule.
