We have started to teach natural family planning (NFP) in our health centers. We have studied 218 cycles in 14 women using NFP to space or avoid pregnancies for an average of 15 months per woman. All women were taught the symptothermal method, and used temperature, mucus, calculations and cervix modifications; temperature, calculations and mucus; or mucus alone, as signs of fertility. Usually they kept track of signs of fertility in each cycle; temperature taking was frequently limited to the periovulatory period, when they noted changes in their mucus. User couples belonged to a middle-lower economic group, for whom motivation was not religious or ethical. Good information is essential in deciding to use NFP. Women who are satisfied users often inform other women. User couples easily become autonomous and acquire the required level of knowledge, abandoning methods they relied on previously. Autonomy is welcomed by these women.
我们已开始在我们的健康中心教授自然计划生育法（NFP）。我们对14名使用NFP来间隔生育或避免怀孕的女性的218个周期进行了研究，每位女性平均使用15个月。所有女性都学习了症状体温法，并利用体温、黏液、计算和宫颈变化；体温、计算和黏液；或仅黏液，作为生育迹象。通常她们会记录每个周期的生育迹象；体温测量通常仅限于排卵期前后，此时她们会留意黏液的变化。使用该方法的夫妇属于中下经济群体，他们使用该方法并非出于宗教或道德动机。充分的信息对于决定使用NFP至关重要。满意的女性使用者常常会告知其他女性。使用该方法的夫妇很容易变得自主，并获得所需的知识水平，摒弃他们之前依赖的方法。这些女性欢迎自主性。
