If you want to avoid pregnancy by natural measures, then proper information on natural family planning is a must. One should have a clear idea of the fertility cycle and the time when the chance of conceiving is the highest.
The most common concept of natural family planning is to avoid intercourse during the fertile period. In present age, two methods of natural family planning are used- the Temperature Method and the Calendar Method.
| Temperature Method:
During ovulation, a woman's body temperature initially drops and then rises slightly. It keeps on increasing until the next period. According to reports, the normal temperature ranges between 96 and 98 degree. But in time of ovulation that lasts for at least 3 days, the temperature rises to 97 to 98 degree. From the fourth day until the last day of next period, it is said to be the safe period; in this period the chance of conceiving remains the lowest. To make this method of natural family planning effective, one needs to maintain a chart of the daily temperature.
