Calendar 5%=subtract 18 days from shortest cycle and 11 days from longest cycle.
Standard days method-intercourse is allowed only on days 1-7 and day 20 to the end of the cycle. Use a barrier method or abstain on day 8-9
Basal body temp-BBT is lowest resting temp. During 1st half of cycle temp is lower than 2nd 1/2. BBt remains higher if conception occurs.
Cervical mucus-Assess vaginal mucus daily fertility is determined by prescense of mucus no intercourse until 4 days after mucus ends.
2 day method-3.5%-check for mucus each day. fertility is determined by prescence of cervical mucus today or yesterday.
Symptothermal-2%-3% combine all above methods and assess weight gain, libido, bloating, and mittelschmerz.

Serophene
Action: stimulates pituitary gland to increase secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). LH and FS?H stimulate maturation of the ovarian follicle, ovulation, and development of the corpus luteum.
Indications: Female infertility in which estrogen levels are norma..
Dosage and Route: Female sterility: first course: 25 to 50mg PO daily for 5 days.
Second course: same dose if ovulation occurred with first course. If ovulation did not occur, increase dose to 100mg daily for 5 days. Some women require up to 250 mg daily. A higher dose is not required if ovulation is triggered.
Absorption: Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Time to peak effect is 4 to 10 days after last day of treatment.
Excreted in the feces:
Contraindication and precautions: Pregnancy, liver disease, abnormal bleeding of undetermined origin, ovarian cysts.
Adverse Reactions: Ovarian enlargement, symptoms similar to prementrual syndrome. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome Multiple gestation, if more than onve ovum is released. Visual disturbances. Abdominal distention, discomfort, nausea, vomiting. Abnormal uterine bleeding. Breast tenderness. Insomnia, nervousness, headache, depression, fatigue, lightheadedness, dizziness. Hot flashes, increased urination, allergic symptoms, weight gain, reversible alopecia. Dry cervical mucus.
