Natural Family Planning
Natural Family Planning utilizes the methods of taking and charting the basal body temperature, and noting changes in cervical fluid during the month in order to accurately determine ovulation, and the best possible timing for achieving or avoiding pregnancy. It is also an accurate method for determining whether one is pregnant even before the over the counter tests show results.
Basal body temperature is the body’s temperature upon waking in the morning. If taken consistently, at the same time each day, and before getting out of bed, patterns can be noted which indicate that ovulation has occurred. A digital basal thermometer is the most accurate for taking the basal temperature.
