Natural Family Planning
NFP, or Natural Family Planning, is fertility awareness—reading a woman’s body signs to know when she is fertile and when she is infertile. Couples can use this fertility awareness to help achieve pregnancy or to postpone pregnancy. When this method is learned and practiced correctly, it is over 99% effective in postponing pregnancy. Unlike contraception, Natural Family Planning respects the dignity of both spouses and enhances marriages. There are different methods of Natural Family Planning including the Sympto-thermal method, the Billings Ovulation Method, and the Creighton Model. For more information about different methods of NFP visit One More Soul.
The Couple to Couple League offers courses in the Sympto-thermal method. The course is a three-part class series with the classes spaced about a month apart. These classes include instruction on how to read, record, and interpret a woman’s signs of fertility, as well as a brief introduction to the Theology of the Body.
