Natural Family Planning

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is a method of birth control that does not involve drugs, devices, or surgical procedures. Instead, it relies on tracking a woman's natural fertility signals to determine the days when she is most likely to become pregnant. Couples can use this information to either achieve or avoid pregnancy.

​

Effectiveness of NFP range of 76% to 99% depending on how correctly it is used. NFP can be highly effective, reaching up to 99% with perfect use and consistent practice, however it requires significant commitment and understanding.

​

How NFP works 

• Couples monitor various fertility signs, including cervical mucus and basal body temperature.

• They avoid unprotected sexual intercourse during the fertile window to prevent pregnancy.

• Using a fertility chart or app helps record information and predict fertile periods.

​

There are different NFP methods, the one I am teaching is called Symptothermal Method.
