It’s National NFP Awareness Week!

Did you know the CDC states that Fertility Awareness Methods are up to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy? Fertility Awareness Methods are growing in popularity among young women and couples because of the health benefits, especially in comparison to the dangerous side effects associated with artificial contraceptives. And, yes, they are effective.

What is NFP?

Natural Family Planning (sometimes referred to as Fertility Awareness Methods) is any method for achieving or avoiding pregnancy that is based on the observation of certain naturally-occurring signs in the woman which indicate the fertile and infertile phases of her menstrual cycle.

An active part of our mission since 2011!

Since 2011, NFP has been an active part of our mission to promote the sanctity of life, the dignity of women, and the sacredness of sexuality. Because we want to empower women with knowledge of their gift of fertility, we offer two types of NFP. Whether a woman desires to avoid pregnancy, achieve pregnancy, or monitor her fertility, the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS) and the Family of the Americas Ovulation Method are systems of natural fertility regulation that help her realize any of these goals.

Who is it for?

Both methods allow couples to manage their fertility for their entire reproductive lives and can be used by women of all reproductive ages, including those seeking to achieve pregnancy, those seeking to avoid or postpone pregnancy, women with irregular cycles, breastfeeding women, and pre-menopausal women.

Why is this important?

Through teaching women to monitor their own fertility, we are empowering them with knowledge of the intricacy of their bodies and how God has carefully and beautifully laid the framework for new life. It allows them to understand their God-given dignity in a profound way and fosters within them an appreciation for the sanctity of life and the sacredness of sexuality.

Because of YOU, women are learning of their dignity and worth. Thank you for making this possible!
