Methods
Is this the rhythm method?
The Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System (CrMS), featuring the science of NaPro Technology, is not the old rhythm method, nor the temperature method. It is based on simple, natural signs of fertility and basic biology supported by years of solid, scientific research.
Who Can Learn Natural Family Planning
Is this a Catholic method?
Although Natural Family Planning has been researched and developed at the encouragement of the Catholic Church, Natural Family Planning is universal and can be used by anyone. There is no religious presentation in the instruction.
NFP is universally accepted by all religious faiths.
Is this method just for married couples?
Any woman can learn about her fertility and is encouraged to do so, especially if there are difficulties in her cycle. However, instructions specific to achieving and avoiding pregnancy will only be taught to married couples or engaged couples preparing for marriage, as it is within the context of marriage that NFP is proven most successful and beneficial to couples.
NFP cooperates with a couple’s fertility, respects the dignity of women and the integrity of marriage and promotes shared responsibility between spouses.

Can I learn Natural Family Planning from a book?
