What is Natural Family Planning (NFP)?
NFP is a way of following God’s plan for achieving and/or avoiding pregnancy. It consists of ways to achieve or to avoid pregnancy using the physical means that God has built into human nature.
NFP consists of two distinct forms:
- Ecological breastfeeding. This is a form of child care that normally spaces babies about two years apart on the average.
- Systematic NFP. This is a system that uses a woman’s signs of fertility to determine the fertile and infertile times of her cycle.
Couples seeking to avoid pregnancy practice chaste abstinence during the fertile time of her cycle.
