Natural Family Planning
What is NFP?
It is a safe, reliable way for married couples to either avoid pregnancy or achieve pregnancy. It is effective and natural.
NFP teaches couples how to observe and interpret the woman’s natural signs of fertility to achieve or postpone pregnancy. NFP is 99% effective and is in agreement with the teachings of the Catholic Church on marriage, family and the dignity of human life.
Side effects?
