Article: The mucous present in a woman’s cervix changes consistency according to the stage of her menstrual cycle. By recognizing the changes in your cervical mucous you may be able to prevent pregnancy.  You do not need to see a doctor to use this method and can start using it immediately.  Just before ovulation, cervical mucous increases and becomes stretchy and rubbery. Just after ovulation, cervical mucous decreases and becomes thicker and less noticeable.  You’ll need to be very comfortable with your body and be extremely diligent in examining your cervical mucus to your cycle to use this method effectively. The Standard Days method observes the “standard rule” that a woman’s menstrual cycle averages between 26 and 32 days. Following this method will require you to avoid sexual intercourse on certain days of your cycle.  You do not need to see a doctor to use this method and can start using it immediately.  You should avoid sexual intercourse between days 8 and 19 of your menstrual cycle to help prevent pregnancy.  You must be extremely diligent in tracking your cycle for this method to be effective. This method holds that your basal body temperature, or your body’s temperature while resting, will increase slightly during ovulation. You’ll need to monitor your temperature every day and avoid intercourse at times if you choose to monitor your basal body temperature.  You do not need to see a doctor to use this method and can start using it immediately.  An increase of .5-1 degree Fahrenheit can indicate ovulation. If your temperature measures slightly high, you should avoid sexual intercourse to help prevent getting pregnant.  You must consistently monitor your temperature for this method to have any efficacy. For example, take your temperature every morning when you get up to use as your baseline. The withdrawal method of birth control, which is also called coitus interruptus, is when a man withdraws his penis from a woman’s vagina and away from her external genitals before ejaculation. This is generally an ineffective form of birth control and has an increased risk of pregnancy.  Coitus interruptus doesn’t require you to see a doctor and you may start it immediately. This method will require you and your partner to have significant self control.  Even if a man withdraws, sperm can still enter the vagina through pre-ejaculate or if the penis isn’t removed in a timely manner.

Article: This includes the sheets and blankets you use for sleeping or resting.  Try to use as few layers as possible. If it’s the winter and you have your furnace on, consider temporarily turning down the temperature to keep your home cool while you recover. If it isn’t winter and you cannot turn down the temperature, try using a fan instead.  Misting yourself occasionally with water while you're in front of the fan also feels wonderful. Tepid water is considered water that is at 85 °F or 30 °C.  Baths are better than showers as you get to immerse yourself in the water, but showers are okay if you do not have a bathtub.  Do not bathe or shower in ice-cold water. Do not use (rubbing) alcohol in an attempt to cool your skin. There are several methods you can use to get something cool enough to put on your forehead, face or the back of your neck.  You can run a washcloth under cool or cold water, place an icepack or ice cubes inside a washcloth or towel (this method will last longer), or wet a washcloth and put it in the freezer before using it. Try making a rice pack and placing it in the freezer. This can be made with a cloth bag and dry rice or purchased as-is. Before bed, soak your feet in hot water.  Then wet a pair of cotton socks in cold water and put them on.  Put a pair of thicker socks overtop of your wet socks.  Go to bed.  This is not recommended for diabetics, as they do not have good circulation or sensation in their feet. Some skincare manufacturers make products for your feet that contain mint.  When applied to your feet they make the skin feel cool.  Use a lotion, cream or gel like this on your feet throughout the day to help cool you down.

Dress comfortably in soft and light fabrics. Turn down the heat. Bathe or shower in tepid water. Place cold washcloths or icepacks on your neck. Go to bed with wet socks.
Article: If you need a little more control over the table, you can use a spreadsheet program. You'll essentially be inserting a spreadsheet into your WordPad document. This requires a compatible spreadsheet editor. WordPad supports Excel and and OpenDocument formats. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are both free office suites that support the OpenDocument format. See How to Install Open Office for detailed instructions on installing OpenOffice for free. In newer versions, this can be found in the Insert section of the Home tab. In older versions of WordPad, click the "Insert" menu and select "Object". A list of objects that you can insert will appear. If you have Excel installed, you can select "Excel Worksheet". If you have OpenOffice or LibreOffice installed, you can select "OpenDocument Spreadsheet". Selecting one of these objects will insert a blank spreadsheet in your WordPad document, and your spreadsheet program will open in another window. After inserting the table, Excel or your OpenDocument spreadsheet editor will open. Anything you enter into the cells in your spreadsheet editor will appear in the table that you inserted into the WordPad document. Go through each cell and fill out the table with the important information. Even though only a small range of cells is shown in WordPad, the range will expand as you add data outside of the displayed range. If the table is smaller than the initial range, the table will shrink to fit your data. You can use the text formatting tools in your spreadsheet program to change the look for the text in the cells. You can change the font, size, color, and emphasis. Formatting text in Excel or your other spreadsheet program is very similar to formatting text in a word processor. The changes you make to the formatting will be displayed immediately in the WordPad table. You can create headers by bolding the contents of the first row in the spreadsheet program. Changes in the size of the rows and columns in your spreadsheet editor will be reflected in the table in your WordPad document immediately. Change the cell size to make your information easy to read. This will finalize the data and you'll see your finished table in WordPad. You can drag the boxes around the edge of the table to resize it. The content of the table will grow or shrink to match the new size. You can click and drag the table around your document as well. This will open your spreadsheet editor, allowing you to change the table data. If you've resized the table, it will be reverted to the original size when you edit it. You'll have to resize it again after editing.

Ensure Excel or OpenOffice is installed. Click the "Insert object" button in WordPad. Select the Worksheet option. Fill out the table data in the spreadsheet program. Format the text. Resize your cells. Close the spreadsheet editor. Move and resize the table. Double-click the table to make edits.
