Natural family planning
Hi all. I was just wondering if anyone has succesfully used 'natural family planning' as a contraceptive as I'm thinking of giving it a try. I already have two daughters, the youngest was born in march this year. I'm on the mini-pill (as I'm breastfeeding) at the moment and have previously been on the pill since I was 16, but to be honest I don't like taking any form of medication unless I really need to and I would love to find a natural alturnative that WORKS! Would love to hear from anyone who has tried this or got any other suggestions. Thank you, Sarah x

I will be honest you have got to be very strict with it and very controlled, it sounds funny but you always seem to want it on the bad days so you have to be quite strong not to. I had a couple of times after coming home from a drink and really wanting it but knowing i couldnt due to ovulation period.
I feel a lot better doing this now, then when i do want to try again i know my patterns and i wouldnt have to wait for any cotaceptive to leave my body.
A lot of people may laugh at these methods and they are definately not guarenteed to work, but the pill didnt work for me.
Hope this helps and I am not mad, lol.
Good luck xxx
