While the terms ''rhythm method'' and ''fertility awareness'' are not synonymous, some sources do treat them as such.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rhythm Method |publisher=Contraception.net |year=2008 |url=http://www.contraception.net/resource_centre/rhythm_method.asp |access-date=2008-05-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080512001456/http://www.contraception.net/resource_centre/rhythm_method.asp |archive-date=2008-05-12 }}</ref> However, [[fertility awareness]] is usually used as a broad term that includes tracking [[basal body temperature]] and [[cervical mucus]] as well as cycle length. The [[World Health Organization]] considers the rhythm method to be a specific type of calendar-based method, and calendar-based methods to be only one form of fertility awareness.<ref name="who">{{cite web|title=Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use:Fertility awareness-based methods | version = Third edition |publisher=World Health Organization |year=2004 |url=https://www.who.int/reproductive-health/publications/mec/fab.html |access-date=2008-04-29 }}</ref>
More effective than calendar-based methods, systems of fertility awareness that track basal body temperature, cervical mucus, or both, are known as symptoms-based methods. Teachers of symptoms-based methods take care to distance their systems from the poor reputation of the rhythm method.<ref>{{cite web |last=Weschler |first=Toni |title=Fertility Myths |work=Ovusoft |publisher=Taking Charge of Your Fertility |url=http://www.ovusoft.com/library/myths.asp#19 |access-date=2008-04-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080422205032/http://www.ovusoft.com/library/myths.asp#19 |archive-date = 2008-04-22}}</ref> Many consider the rhythm method to have been obsolete for at least 20 years,<ref name="tcoyf">{{cite book | first=Toni | last=Weschler | year=2002 | title=Taking Charge of Your Fertility | url=https://archive.org/details/takingchargeofyo00toni | url-access=registration |pages=[https://archive.org/details/takingchargeofyo00toni/page/3 3–4] |edition=Revised |publisher=HarperCollins |place=New York |isbn=0-06-093764-5 }}</ref> and some even exclude calendar-based methods from their definition of fertility awareness.<ref>{{cite web |last=Singer |first=Katie |title=What is Fertility Awareness? |work=The Garden of Fertility |year=2007 |url=http://www.gardenoffertility.com/fertilityawareness.shtml |access-date=2008-05-18 |archive-date=2018-10-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181017053511/http://www.gardenoffertility.com/fertilityawareness.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref>
Some sources may treat the terms ''rhythm method'' and ''natural family planning'' as synonymous.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rhythm Method |work=Birth Control Health Center |publisher=WebMD |year=2005 |url=http://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/rhythm-method |access-date=2008-05-18}}</ref> In the early 20th century, the calendar-based method known as the ''rhythm method'' was promoted by members of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] as the only morally acceptable form of [[family planning]]. Methods accepted by this church are referred to as [[natural family planning]] (NFP): so at one time, the term "the rhythm method" was synonymous with NFP. Today, NFP is an umbrella term that includes symptoms-based fertility awareness methods and the [[lactational amenorrhea method]] as well as calendar-based methods such as rhythm.<ref>{{cite web |title=Natural Family Planning |work=Institute for Reproductive Health, [[Georgetown University]] |year=2005 |url=http://www.irh.org/nfp.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060208191517/http://irh.org/nfp.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2006-02-08 |access-date=2008-05-18 }}</ref> This overlap between uses of the terms "the rhythm method" and "natural family planning" may contribute to confusion.
