The hard part is actually practicing it, it requires learning, discipline (taking temperature every morning), and abstinence during fertile or unsure times. The other hard part is that from our experience, a woman is most "horny" when thy ARE fertile. The bad news is that I'm not sure this can be combined with the pill, as the pill affects your hormones which the sympto thermal method essentially monitors thereby determining where you are in your cycle. Read up on it, it might still be for you.
