Natural Family Planning family planning refers to the practice of achieving or avoiding pregnancies according to an informed awareness of a woman's fertility. It is not "calendar rhythm." Couples who learn natural family planning learn how to read the signs of a woman's body to determine her fertile and infertile times.

Two methods of natural family planning are available to married couples in Eastern Oklahoma. The Couple-to-Couple League offers instruction in the sympto-thermal method of natural family planning. This method uses the woman's basal body temperature as the primary sign for determining fertile and infertile times.
