Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the practice of understanding and tracking a couple’s fertility. By observing the body’s natural signs of fertility and infertility, couples can use methods like the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM), which is over 99% effective for postponing pregnancy. When couples intentionally use this knowledge to either achieve or avoid pregnancy, it is referred to as responsible parenthood.

NFP is entirely natural, relying on no drugs, chemicals, or devices. Many couples appreciate it as an alternative to contraceptive methods, as it works in harmony with the body’s natural rhythms. Couples often report a deeper respect for femininity, mutual fertility, and a stronger sense of empowerment through self-awareness.
