The records of 50 Australian postpartum women who intended to breast-feed for longer than 6 months were analyzed. Fifty percent of the women breast-fed longer than 12 months, and 50% resumed menses by 40 weeks after childbirth. Fifty-four women provided records of mucus and BBT for at least 4 weeks before resumption of menses. Ovulation before menses while fully breast-feeding was probable in only one woman. Fifty percent of the first postpartum cycles had a short luteal phase. Thirty-two women chose NEP to avoid pregnancy during the study period. Mucus and BBT proved to be a good marker of ovulation during postpartum cycles. The mean number of days available for intercourse according to the Ovulation Method was 22.6 days between 6 and 12 postpartum weeks, and 12 days during the 4 weeks before menses. Confidence in NFP during lactational amenorrhoea and first postpartum cycles is analyzed. Finally, research aimed at improving the teaching and use of NFP for postpartum breast-feeding women is described.
对50名打算母乳喂养超过6个月的澳大利亚产后女性的记录进行了分析。其中50%的女性母乳喂养时间超过12个月，50%在产后40周恢复月经。54名女性在恢复月经前至少4周提供了黏液和基础体温记录。完全母乳喂养期间月经前排卵的情况仅在一名女性中出现。产后第一个月经周期中有50%的黄体期较短。32名女性在研究期间选择自然计划生育法来避免怀孕。黏液和基础体温被证明是产后月经周期中排卵的良好指标。根据排卵法，产后6至12周期间可进行性交的平均天数为22.6天，月经前4周期间为12天。分析了哺乳期闭经和产后第一个月经周期中对自然计划生育法的信心。最后，描述了旨在改善产后母乳喂养女性自然计划生育法教学和使用的研究。
