Natural Family Planning

In my practice I encourage and promote natural methods of family planning—there are several methods available.  For those interested and motivated, I highly recommend that reproductive age women consider a method that will work in harmony with their sensitive reproductive physiology. 

Natural Methods-advantages.

  • Simple to learn
     
  • Inexpensive  to use
     
  • Readily available (see resources below).
     
  • Successfully used by women with varied economic and educational backgrounds
     
  • Useful during all phases of reproduction---, premarital cycle tracking and temperatures; breast feeding, perimenopause.
     
  • Helpful in controlling and understanding physiology of PMS, irregular ovulation, fertility problems, thyroid disease.
     
  • Immediately reversible.
     
  • Allows couples to appreciate a woman’s short fertile time (6-8 days).
     
  • Allows couples to accurately know when ovulation/ conception has occurred to help in planning their baby’s due date.
     
  • Methods have been 98-99% effective worldwide in postponing pregnancy.
     
  • Empowers couples to communicate and  discern their ability/timing to bring a new baby into the world.
