This isn’t your mother’s NFP

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is a modern, scientific method of fertility awareness. It is based on the ability to determine the naturally-occurring window of fertility in a woman’s menstrual cycle by detecting certain body changes that occur around the time of ovulation in all healthy, fertile women.

As a family planning method, modern NFP:

• calls for shared husband and wife responsibility
• requires the couple to communicate
• is based on scientific research
• treats each fertility cycle as unique and teaches a couple to observe their signs of fertility on a daily basis
• has no harmful side effects
• is effective for those wanting to achieve or postpone pregnancy
• can be used throughout life—postpartum, breast-feeding and perimenopause
• is virtually cost free
• builds strong marriages

Other benefits include:

• marriage enrichment and mutual understanding
• effectiveness for spacing or limiting pregnancy
• no harmful side effects
• useful throughout the reproductive life cycle
• appreciation for the blessings of every child
• greater respect for and acceptance of the total person
• morally sound
• low cost
