The Fertility MattersTM Method for Natural Family Planning
While children are the natural fruit of marriage, sometimes your situation is such that it is not prudent to have a child at this time. Maybe you have developed a health condition that could endanger you or your offspring if you were to get pregnant. Maybe finances aren't what they should be in order to welcome another member into your family. Perhaps your living situation is not appropriate for raising children. Or perhaps you have children or other loved ones who need your attention and care at this time. Whatever your reasons for postponing pregnancy (temporarily or long term), Natural Family Planning is the answer.
The Fertility MattersTM Method:Postponing Pregnancy Program
The Postponing Pregnancy Program is for you if:
you want a method that is simple to understand and use
you would like to reap the benefits of natural fertility support for the sake of your general health, and to preserve the amazing gift of your fertility for the future
you want to use a Natural Family Planning method that has Christian marital strengthening tools included as part of the course
you have not recently given birth or have had at least six periods since giving birth (Otherwise, check out our
Postpartum program.)
you are not breastfeeding (Even if your periods have returned, we recommend that breastfeeding mothers sign up for the
Postpartum program.)
you are a woman who is less than 40 years old (If you are over 40 years old, we recommend that you sign up for the
Premenopause program.)
