The basal body temperature method could be used as a contraceptive if unprotected sexual intercourse is avoided from the time of menstruation until 3-4 days after the basal body temperature has risen. Among its advantages is that it is a natural, simple and inexpensive method. However, it is a method that is not very effective as a contraceptive, which may make its use inadvisable.
Finally, it is important to mention that the basal temperature method as a contraceptive does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
