The NFP Journey

Just as heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature are indicators of your body's general health, fertility signs are indicators of reproductive health. These external signs are regulated by hormones which influence not only your reproductive system but also your general health.  Charting tracks the physical signs as they change throughout your menstrual cycle in order to identify times of fertility and create a personal health record. 
What signs are charted and which NFP methods use these signs?

Different methods of NFP have been developed based upon various signs of fertility.  To choose an NFP method, first do some research; click on an NFP method listed below for a fact sheet with information and links.  Still not sure which best fits your lifestyle and goals?   Try this fun interactive quiz to choose an NFP method.

Instruction from a trained educator is key to using NFP effectively and confidently!   Register for local on-site or online NFP Classes,  and utilize Resources for Couples such as charting apps, websites, and Catholic teaching which provide support for living the NFP lifestyle.
