Signs
• Fertility mucus• Basal body temperature

Ovulation andthe Role of Cervical Mucus
• Ovulation is the release of the egg cell.
• It occurs on one day each cycle.• The egg cell lives only 12 to 24 hours.• Sperm need cervical mucus to survive.
• Without it they die within hours.• With good cervical mucus, sperm can live
3 to 5 days.

Two Major Concerns About NFP Livability
• How well does it work?
• Is periodic abstinence possible?

Definitions
• Method Effectiveness • Rules are correctly understood and
followed
• Use Effectiveness• Actual use including
misunderstanding and carelessness

NFP Effectiveness
• Method Effectiveness – 97-99+ percent
• Use Effectiveness – 90-99+ percent
![Page 39: Fertility Awareness and Natural Family Planning Observing one or more of the body’s natural signs of fertility, and… making couple decisions about whether.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e0d5503460f94af686f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Use Effectiveness of NFP Depends Upon…
• Course of instruction with follow-up
• Consistent and correct charting
• Knowing and following the rules especially complete abstinence from all genital contact
