What is Natural Family Planning?

What is Natural Family Planning?

Click here for myths and realities of NFP, benefits, and resources. 

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops writes "Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the general title for the scientific, natural, and moral methods of family planning that can help married couples either achieve or postpone pregnancy.

NFP methods are based on the observation of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's menstrual cycle. No drugs, devices, or surgical procedures are used to avoid pregnancy.

Since the methods of NFP respect the love-giving (unitive) and life-giving (procreative) nature of the conjugal act, they support God's design for married love!"

Happy Natural Family Planning Week!
