methods that have been developed to help women and men determine the
fertile and infertile times of a woman’s menstrual cycle. These
methods can be used to achieve or avoid a pregnancy.
- NFP is safe and healthy.
- NFP enables a couple to increase communication and to
better understand their own bodies.

taught by a qualified teacher and correctly applied.
