SDM is 95% effective when used correctly.
CycleBeads are a colourful ring of glass beads that let you know when pregnancy is possible. CycleBeads are a tool to use the easy-to-learn Standard Days Method (SDM) - a new method of Natural Family Planning (NFP) developed by the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University.
Copper or aqua coloured beads are available at this time.
Why Use CycleBeads?
Cycle Beads mean freedom from synthetic Class 3 carcinogenic hormones, disposables, monthly costs and harmful effects.
Cycle Beads are:
~ Hormone-free. Cycle Beads help you understand and balance your body rather than harm you!
~ Affordable: Buy them once and you are done! Compare this to the cost of a monthly prescription or periodic medical check ups and replacements.
~ Simple and Easy To Learn: You don't need to count, chart, check your cervical mucous or take your temperature every day. But you can if you want to!
~ Waste-free: There are no packages to throw away and landfill, no hormones to pollute the water stream.
~ Acceptable to all religions, faiths and spiritual beliefs. Cycle Beads and The Standard Days Method respect natural cycles without interfering with fertilized ovum.
The Standard Days Method (SDM) - a new method of Natural Family Planning (NFP) developed by the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University is 95% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly! The 95% means that 5 out of 100 women practicing this method correctly for one year will get pregnant. Did you know that the ACTUAL effectiveness rate of a number of hormonal contraceptive methods is only 92%? (from Options for Sexual Health)
The Most Common Mistake Women Who Try Other Natural Family Planning Methods Make That Leads To Unwanted Pregnancies
The most common misunderstanding about natural family planning is the belief that if you stop having sex that can lead to conception when you:
* detect ovulation:
* see that your temperature rises, or
* your mucous changes
that you are protected from pregnancy.
This will not work! There are a few problems with this retroactive method that can lead to unwanted pregnancy:
1. You can get pregnant when you have unprotected sex up to 6 days before ovulation because sperm can stay 'alive' waiting for you to ovulate!
2. Your body changes your cycle to match the cycles of women you are in close contact with such as family members, housemates, friends, lovers etc.
3. Your body can delay ovulation when you are sick, even with a cold or 'flu.
That's why the Cycle Beads give you a 12-day fertile window of white beads. This fertile window was shown to be the length of time and leeway needed to make Cycle Beads 95% effective.
How Do I Use CycleBeads?
Using Cycle Beads, you are free to have whatever sex you like, or not, when you are on the coloured beads. When you are on the white beads - days 8 through 19 - conception is possible, so you avoid sex that can lead to pregnancy or use an alternate method of contraception during this time, such as the Fem Cap and Contragel.
If you use Cycle Beads to get pregnant, you have sex that can lead to pregnancy during the days indicated by the white beads.
CycleBeads is an effective birth control option and while preventing pregnancy is the primary use of this family planning tool, health providers use CycleBeads to educate, empower, or simply inform teenagers and women of childbearing age. Read more about the many uses of Cycle Beads
