This class is an Introduction to Natural Family Planning (NFP).
NFP refers to the practice of achieving or avoiding pregnancies
according to an informed awareness of a woman’s fertility.
Why do we have this class? NFP is morally acceptable. The
Catholic Church accepts the use of NFP when couples have a sufficiently
serious reason for spacing or limiting children.
NFP is Safe. NFP is Healthy.
NFP is Effective. NFP is Natural.
We will mention three major methods: BILLINGS OVULATION METHOD,
SYMPTO-THERMAL METHOD, and CREIGHTON CrMS METHOD.
Natural Family Planning:
• Is in harmony with Church teachings in that it is
open to the possibility of life and naturally assists in establishing
physical and mental harmony in marriage.
• Is based on sound scientific knowledge.
• Enables pregnancies to be planned without the need
for artificial contraception.
• Can assist many infertile couples to achieve
pregnancy.
• Is natural and therefore completely harmless.
• Does not require regularity of the cycles.
• Does not require pill-taking of any kind.
• Can be successfully applied during long cycles and
breastfeeding.
• Is trustworthy during the pre-menopause.
