Are you using NFP? If not, why?

Question

I asked another question about NFP but now that I'm reading some of the question on here I'm wondering if any of you use Natural Family Planning? And if not why? Do you know what it is?

Answer 1

Hi, I am kinda monitoring my fertility signs.  For me it is really difficult.  I have very long cycles (40-60 days). I don't think I even ovulate.  I don't think I ever see the EWCM, even though I have been checking. Also, I have a lot of spotting.  my period is just crazy.  If you have any tips for me, I would love to hear them.  Thanks

Answer 2

I answered your other question on NFP, but this information in this question shocks me.  The statistics you offered on the effectiveness are absolutely false, false, false.  Modern NFP has an effectiveness higher than barrier methods and around the same as the pill.  I hope that you mistyped the rates in your additional details on accident.  I just read a terrific column today on the effectiveness of NFP; I will just repaste the link for you to check out the real stats on NFP:  http://www.catholicmom.com/nfp.htm

I have more stats on NFP effectiveness, but this should suffice, or google some results for yourself.  It's very effective for those who are motivated and committed to the method.
