NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING: REASONS I CANNOT USE IT
Are there any reasons why I could not use Natural Family Planning?
If your partner is not prepared to co-operate, or could be unreliable, you probably won’t be able to use a natural method. If you are not prepared to take note of your physical changes every day, or you are not prepared to avoid vaginal sex for fairly long periods of time, then a natural method would not be a good choice.
If an unplanned pregnancy would cause serious problems, then you would not be advised to use a natural method, unless there is really no other choice, because the risk of failure would be too great.
Things to think about if you are considering using Natural Family Planning
• If you are worried that you have made a mistake in your calculations, and you have had sex when you are probably fertile, you have the choice to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But be aware that if you use it your menstrual cycle will most likely change over the next month or so, and you will not be able to rely on a natural method until your cycles return to what is normal for you.
• Remember both partners have to be committed to using a natural method for it to be effective.
• Natural methods do not give you any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
