CycleBeads - Natural Family Planning

Presently pondering over different contraceptive methods with Rose. We agree hormonal methods are not always the best thing, and a friend introduced us to the CycleBeads, which come with good recommendations. Apparently 95% effective if used correctly, and not as complicated as the Rhythm Method. Still, most of the patients we see would rather have the pill or the IUD/Depo. My opinion is that this is because the latter are free and easy to get hold of, but Rose points out that often it is because the woman's partner is reluctant to take much responsibility in the matter of family planning or are averse to using barrier methods. So we continue to have hormones in our drinking water (ugh!)...
