The learning portion of the SymptoPro Course takes place over three sessions that are scheduled bi-weekly. Then we work closely through coaching and follow up for 12 sessions every 2-4 weeks for you to feel confident in your charting. Working with Emma gives you in depth support and accountability while learning how to observe and interpret your cycles.

Session 1 (2-3 hours): goes over basic reproductive anatomy and physiology, the phases of the menstrual cycle, observing and charting the temperature pattern, identifying the 6 last lows and pre-rise baseline, observing and charting mucus by tissue and sensation, and identifying peak day.

Session 2 (2-3 hours): starts with a review of the previous concepts, then we learn about observing and charting the cervix, secondary signs, charting to achieve pregnancy, the sympto-thermal rule, the 6-5-0 day rule, and effectiveness.

Session 3 (2-3 hours): starts with a review of the sympto-thermal rule and the 6-5-0 day rule, then we learn about the early dry days rule, evaluating bleeding, and the intro to the basic mucus rule.

Follow up & Coaching (30 minutes every 2-4 weeks): video or phone private consults to check in about how your charting is going, ask any questions, and interpret your cycle patterns.

SymptoPro™ Fertility Education is an effective, scientifically based method, that treats fertility as a normal, healthy process. SymptoPro is a Sympto-Thermal Method of fertility awareness, 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 intentions. SymptoPro works through periodic abstinence during the method-defined fertile time for couples who are avoiding a pregnancy and can be used effectively throughout a woman’s entire reproductive life. Regular cycles are NOT required. SymptoPro is NOT Calendar Rhythm. Learn more at symptopro.org

The course will teach you how to confidently define your fertile window and the time of the cycle that you are completely infertile. Yes, that means there are times in your cycle when you can have unprotected sex without the fear of pregnancy.

The Sympto-Thermal Rule, which we use most often to confirm that ovulation has passed and that you are in the completely infertile phase of the cycle, is 99% accurate with perfect use.

Absolutely! Learn how to define the most fertile days of your cycle and when ovulation occurs. You'll also learn how to identify early pregnancy! Emma will support you through trying to conceive in any way you need!

Yes! When learning how to chart your cycle you'll gain knowledge about how to evaluate a healthy cycle and Emma is trained to find irregularities and be able to refer out to other health professionals to support!

There is so much power in knowledge. I personally believe that having partners understand the guidelines and procedures allows for more open communication about family planning intentions and allows for better use of the method.

They can attend all sessions with you for no extra cost.

After the learning sessions and 12 private consults included with the course, you'll still have lifetime messaging support from Emma. This has two main benefits:

1. Sending charts whenever you have completed them or have questions about interpretations, and I'll send feedback via the client portal for no additional cost

2. Access to schedule for in-depth consults and coaching.

Of course! Payment plans are available for each course. At checkout, you will have the option to choose to pay in full or a payment plan. Scholarship applications can be found here.

I never want the cost to be the factor holding you back from learning about your fertility, so just reach out and ask.

YES! So many of us have our phones nearby all the time, and the Read Your Body app has templates for SymptoPro use. This is my preferred method of tracking my chart because I can add observations throughout the day, wherever I am, and then go over it at the last check of the day.

Absolutely! SymptoPro has a paper charting template, and you are taught to chart this way in the course.

I currently teach all my courses online, but I am willing to teach an in-person course in the Charleston area upon request. Go to this link to request a course.
