Natural family planning is a term used for methods of birth
control that do not involve the use of any drugs or devices.
To prevent pregnancy, these methods require not having
sexual intercourse during the fertile days of a woman's
menstrual cycle. They depend on accurately recording
information about a woman's menstrual cycle and calculating
safe or unsafe days for intercourse. Natural family
planning requires strong commitment, cooperation, and
motivation from both partners.
