Frequently Asked Questions

What is Natural Family Planning?

Natural Family Planning is the practice of observing and charting fertility signs to determine accurately when a woman is fertile and when she is infertile. When you want to achieve pregnancy, NFP helps you identify the most fertile time. When you want to delay pregnancy for a just cause, you abstain from genital contact during the fertile time.

How long does Natural Family Planning take?

Only the online introductory course is required. This takes one hour. If you pursue an optional NFP charting method, duration varies.
