How effective are the methods of natural family
planning for avoiding pregnancy?
When couples are taught by competent teachers, understand
the methods, and are motivated to follow them, NFP is up to 99% successful in spacing or limiting births.
The effectiveness of NFP depends upon the spouses' following
the rules of the method according to their family planning intention (i.e., achieving or limiting births). Those who are strongly motivated to avoid pregnancy and follow the method strictly are very effective in meeting their goal. (Reference - The Diocesan Development Program for NFP, National Conference of Catholic Bishops)
