Abstract

The CrMS charting system is explained in full, including the stamp-based notation for recording mucus characteristics, bleeding, and dry days on the standardized chart, and the conventions for identifying the Peak Day. Accurate chart reading is the foundational clinical skill for NaProTECHNOLOGY practitioners, as the chart provides the biomarker timeline against which hormone profiles and pathology are interpreted.
