Question 163

IS THERE AN INTRODUCTORY, ONLINE, VISUAL PRESENTATION OF ONE OF THE AVAILABLE NFP METHODS TO HELP COUPLES AND PASTORS TO GRASP THE BASIC METHODOLOGY?

A twenty minute audio-visual introduction to NFP is now available online, provided by the Billings Ovulation Method. Go to our website video library here: www.nfpoutreach.org/library/video-library.htm . It's the first item there.

This is a great service to couples who are beginning to explore the various natural methods. It helps pastors to grasp the basic methodology of one of the available methods. It explains how any woman can become aware of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms that a woman’s body provides, that tell her when her fertility begins and ends each cycle. 

The Billings Method is an extremely effective and a morally good means of spacing pregnancies (99.5+% for postponing pregnancies when the four simple rules are correctly used). It is completely natural, and provides an understanding of a woman’s fertility. It fosters collaboration and a shared responsibility. It can be used to overcome infertility. It is also a means of monitoring gynecologic health. Other advantages, particular to the Billings Method include:

• Easy to Learn
• Accurate, scientific, simple method of regulating fertility
• Simple to Use
• No Drugs or Devices
• No Side Effects
• Reliable
• Morally Acceptable to All Cultures
• Increases knowledge, understanding and respect for fertility
• Develops couple communication and relationships

We encourage you to share this information with your circle of contacts and friends.
