What is NFP?
NFP stands for Natural Family Planning. It is a method of family planning that helps couples avoid or achieve pregnancy. NFP is based on the observation of the woman’s menstrual cycle and fertility signs.
How does NFP work?
NFP works by identifying the fertile and infertile phases of the woman’s menstrual cycle. The fertile phase is the time when the woman is most likely to get pregnant. The infertile phase is the time when the woman is least likely to get pregnant.
To use NFP, couples need to track the woman’s menstrual cycle and fertility signs. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as:
- Calendar method: This method involves tracking the woman’s menstrual cycle on a calendar. The fertile phase is typically identified as the days 10-17 of the cycle.
- Basal body temperature (BBT) method: This method involves tracking the woman’s basal body temperature. The fertile phase is typically identified as the days when the BBT rises.
- Cervical mucus method: This method involves tracking the changes in the woman’s cervical mucus. The fertile phase is typically identified as the days when the cervical mucus becomes thin and slippery.
Is NFP effective?
NFP can be very effective when used correctly. Studies have shown that NFP is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy when used perfectly. However, the effectiveness of NFP can vary depending on the method used and the consistency with which it is used.
What are the benefits of NFP?
- NFP is a natural method of family planning that does not involve the use of hormones or devices.
- NFP is safe and has no side effects.
- NFP can help couples to learn more about the woman’s menstrual cycle and fertility.
