What is Natural Family Planning?
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 pregnancies.
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!
