Has anyone tried natural family planning? How complicated and effective is this?
Question:
Answers:
It is very effective, 97% when used properly. It works just as well to avoid pregnancy as it does to beocme pregnant. It's not complicated at all. it may take you a few months to understand your body completely but the charting, bbt, cm, and everything will only take about 2 or 3 minutes out of your day. If you want some more info and the most comprehensive chart I have found, e-mail me! Good luck!
My friend tried it. He has eight kids!
I am trying at the moment but my husband and I don't see each other alot and we haven't seen each other in the last four months close to or on the day of ovulation.
I have found that the best thing to use are the saliva ovulation devises they seem to be quiet accurate.
Natural Family Planning doesn't mean "not for protestants" and it's NOT the rythym method for Catholics only. It's a safe method to determine when you are fertile to avoid or achieve a pregnancy. It's EASY TO LEARN, cheap, works with your body, plus it doesn't interact with any medications. It can be used by women who have irregular cycles or serious illnesses. It is effective 99% provided you & your partner make the decision TOGETHER during your fertile period whether or not you want to conceive at that time.
DH & I have been using it to avoid a pregnancy due to the multiple health problems I have and we haven't had any problems with it for 10 yrs.
It does require committment & the willingness to learn but isn't your life worth it? you will have so much to gain and nothing to lose. Unlike the pill where you have serious side effects such as weight gain, mood swings, blood clots, drug interactions, PE, breakthrough bleeding/ovulation, pregnancy, & even strokes.

For me, it's one less thing to worry about and I don't have to worry about contributing to another health problem & blaming the pill because I know I use something that is 100% safe w/no life threatening side effects. My husband wants me around for a long time & he is very supportive of NFP as well.
We learned about it via a local hospital & were trained by an NFP practitioner on monitoring my fertility. The ccli site has info on where to find one in your area.
The Billings Method worked for me for 6 yrs before I had my son and for 19 since I had him.
