There are many things we wish we knew about NFP before we started! Yolanda joins us in this episode to talk about some of the different methods of NFP and how it would have been so helpful to know that they all existed. We also touch on how some women change to different methods throughout their NFP journey. If you feel like your method isn't working well for you, check out some other methods. The list below is not exhaustive, these are just the methods we spoke the most about in this episode. Symptothermal:https://www.symptopro.org/https://ccli.org/Marquette:https://www.marquette.edu/nursing/natural-family-planning-model.phpBillings Ovulation Method:https://billings.life/en/Creighton Model:https://www.creightonmodel.com/___________________________________ Did we mention a book on this week's episode?
