I was looking at using it too,,,. I am getting married on friday and me and my future husband are going to be using billings. But I have changed my mind since talking to a few people. My friends sister used persona,.. but was caught out twice with it ( two gorgeous little boys but nevertheless) and my other friend who has always used the billings method, and has been married for 5 years, purchased a persona in the hope that it would be more straightforward then the daily observations, her experience was that persona conflicted with Billings as it indicated different dates for ovulation ?
However if it was really that dodgy, I don't think it would be as popular a product as it seems to be and its been on the market in Ireland and the UK for about 5/6 years now.
But in my opinion your I think your better sticking with one or the other, by all accounts and from talking to friends who are using nfp, The Billings method is pretty fail safe as long as you learn to observe your mucus and vaginal sensations closely and consistantly, and even better, you can also talk to a real live person should you have questions or concerns.
Good Luck
