It Just Makes Sense!
You are only fertile for a short time in each cycle
NFP is knowing when that is.
No drugs. No devices. No surgery.
Natural Family Planning is…
- simple to learn
- morally acceptable
- based on sound scientific knowledge
- promotes the mutual love of the couple
- enables couples to achieve or avoid a pregnancy
- helps the couple understand their mutual fertility
- successfully used during irregular cycles, breastfeeding, pre-menopause, and discontinued use of the birth control pill
- empowers a woman to actively participate in monitoring, evaluating, and maintaining her own procreative health
- invaluable for infertile couples, both for achieving pregnancy and as a tool in the diagnosis and treatment of reproductive disorders
Community and Professional Support is only a click, email, or phone call away.
