Avoiding Pregnancy – Confidently!

feet

If a couple using natural fertility management wish to avoid a pregnancy, they must abstain from intercourse during the time of their combined fertility.The reliability of different birth control methods in avoiding pregnancy is summarised in the appendix on page 20. The Billings Ovulation Method, Creighton Method and the Sympto-Thermal Method compare favourably with other popular birth control methods. The Standard Days and Two Day Method are slightly less reliable but are still within the acceptable range. Couples wishing to use any of these natural methods confidently are advised to seek instruction from an accredited teacher.
