 Natural Family Planning (NFP) is a safe, effective way to help a couple achieve pregnancy, space out pregnancies, or avoid pregnancy. It is not contraception. Modern methods of NFP are safe and clinically proven to be highly effective at avoiding pregnancy, when used properly. These methods are not the old "rhythm method". Modern methods of NFP are based on the readily observable signs of fertility and infertility present in each menstrual cycle. So any woman, regardless of the regularity or irregularity of her cycles, can use NFP effectively.
Planificación Familiar Natural (PFN) Semana de Concientización Nacional: Julio 20-26
La Planificación Familiar Natural (PFN), es una manera segura y eficaz de ayudarle a una pareja a lograr el embarazo, a espaciar sus embarazos, o a evitar el embarazo. Nada que ver con anticonceptivos. Los métodos modernos de la PFN son seguros, y clínicamente han comprobado ser muy eficaces para evitar el embarazo cuando son utilizados correctamente. Estos métodos no son como el viejo “método del ritmo.” Los métodos modernos de la PFN, están basados en las señales fácilmente perceptibles de la fertilidad y de la infertilidad presentes en cada ciclo menstrual. Así que cualquier mujer, sin importar la regularidad o irregularidad en sus ciclos, puede utilizar la PFN, eficazmente.
