The Rhythm or Calendar Method was in use more than 75 years ago. It was based on the assumption that ovulation occurred about the same time in every woman’s cycle. This method often proved inaccurate because of the unique nature of each woman's fertility cycle. Some women have very irregular cycles, and almost all women have an occasional cycle of unusual length. Modern NFP treats each cycle as unique and is based on over 50 years of scientific research on human fertility.

Health Concerns: NFP doesn’t involve any drugs or chemicals (which have proven to cause harmful biological and ecological effects). NFP charting can help identify current, as well as potential, fertility problems, hormonal irregularities, and underlying causes of common menstrual abnormalities (PMS, painful ovulations, excessive or deficient vaginal discharge).

Is NFP safe?

Natural Family Planning FAQ -- Saint Columbkille Parish
Yes. Natural Family Planning uses no birth control devices or drugs. Every drug has potential side effects and should be taken only when necessary to cure or relieve an illness. Fertility is a normal process, not a disease. Birth control pills and implants are unnecessary drugs, and most intrauterine devices (IUD) were taken off the American market because of health-related lawsuits; some physicians have linked spermicide with birth defects.

What is the difference between the Rhythm Method and modern NFP?

Frequently Asked Questions on Natural Family Planning
Calendar Rhythm basically assumed that women would have 28-day cycles with ovulation around Day 14. It was ineffective if cycles were either shorter or longer. Modern NFP acknowledges that a woman can routinely have cycles that are shorter or longer than the “average” of 28 days, and that her cycle can even vary from month to month.

How long does it take to become confident in using NFP?

Diocese of La Crosse : : : Natural Family Planning FAQ
Most couples find that they can use NFP effectively to either achieve or postpone pregnancy within 4-6 cycles of use. Within the Diocese of La Crosse, client couples are encouraged to have their first 6 charted cycles evaluated by their trained instructors. Couples who take advantage of the follow-up services provided by the NFP program become confident more quickly than those who try to do it on their own.

How is NFP different from other birth control methods?

Diocese of La Crosse : : : Natural Family Planning FAQ
NFP (Natural Family Planning) is different from artificial birth control in many ways: NFP is healthy. All artificial birth control methods have possible side effects, some of which can be quite serious. Natural Family Planning has no side effects, and is a healthy non-invasive choice for family planning. Some artificial methods (particularly hormonal methods [pill, patch, etc.], the IUD, and sterilization) can have long-term impacts for the future fertility of the couple.

I have very irregular cycles. Can I use NFP effectively?

Diocese of La Crosse : : : Natural Family Planning FAQ
The answer is “YES”! NFP effectiveness comes from the evaluation of each cycle on its own merits. Thus, a woman who knows and understands the five indicators of fertility can easily determine when she is and is not fertile in any cycle. Women who do have irregular cycles may find that it will take them one or two more cycles to determine their fertility indicators than women with regular cycles.

Yes, it is possible to learn slow breathing on your own, and you will gradually assimilate with Breatheasy. People have actually been doing this for years under the name of biofeedback. Unfortunately, biofeedback is difficult and time-consuming to learn, which is why it has never gained widespread use. Slow breathing is also very difficult to learn unaided because it's only effective when done in a very relaxed state with minimal conscious effort.
