Family Planning Education

NFP is understanding the natural signs of a woman's fertility which are readily recognizable by any woman. It is fertility awareness. The knowledge gained from NFP instruction allows couples to space, postpone, avoid or enhance the possibility of conception without any chemical or physiological alterations of the reproductive system (female or male). Contemporary methods of NFP are sometimes referred to as "Fertility Awareness" since they are ultimately based on awareness of natural symptoms of fertility that are readily recognizable by any woman. As such they are distinct from older "calendar" methods.
