What daily measurements are recorded using NFP?
The NFP program for Palm OS allows one to record basal body temperature, vaginal fluid sensation, fluid color, cervical position, and results of a luteinizing hormone test kit. Vaginal fluid sensation and fluid color are typically noted when a women goes to the bathroom throughout the day. They can also be observed in the evening before going to bed. Optionally, cervical position can also be recorded, typically at the end of the day. In addition one can record time differences if a temperature was taken earlier or later than normal. The program will adjust the temperature in an attempt to compensate for the time difference. The user can record if alcohol was consumed the previous evening, in which case the temperature will be ignored. An “other” check box is available for customized use and an extensive, searchable note feature allows the user to record any additional notes.
