| | Contraceptive Methods: Natural Family Planning |
| | Natural family planning can be very effective when clients are properly trained and counseled and when they are motivated to avoid unprotected intercourse for a week or more each month. | | | Clients using natural family planning may use one technique or a combination of techniques to identify the start and end of a woman's fertile period. | | | Most women can use natural family planning safely throughout their reproductive years (if they are satisfied with the method and have no problems with it). |

| | The essence of family planning, then, is to make intercourse purely a means of expressing love, building stability in the relationship, and sharing physical pleasure, and not a means of reproducing (except at particular, chosen times.) | | | Inherent in the idea is that the couple does have at least one child, that is, they use birth control to plan, not to prevent, a family. | | | Family planning is often used as a euphemism for birth control, though its connotations are somewhat different. |
