The Ovulation Method is:

not the old "rhythm method"
not the temperature method
based on the recognition of
natural signs of fertility that
appear for a few days during the
woman's menstrual cycle

The Ovulation Method is a universal scientifically proven method representing the research of thousands of medical professionals and the personal experience of millions of NFP using couples. The most prominent medical professionals and scientists that have contributed to the development of NFP include Drs Keefe, Roetzer, Billings, Brown, Prem, Odeblad, and Hilgers.
This Ovulation Method is based on recognizing the natural

signs of fertility that appear for a few days during the woman's fertility cycle. Family of the Americas Foundation (FAF) was instrumental in simplifying the teaching and charting system such that the Ovulation Method is especially applicable use by women all over the world, no matter whether they are part of an indiginous tribe or a highly sophisticated society.
By keeping accurate records, a woman can now confidently identify the fertile and infertile phases of her cycle. Women with long or irregular cycles, breast-feeding mothers, and even those going through perimenopause or discontinuing artificial methods of family planning can use the Ovulation Method safely and effectively.
