The Disadvantages of Natural Birth Control
While family planning methods are popular with some people, others find the techniques to be too time consuming. Unfortunately, if you do not practice this type of birth control properly and consistently, there is a good chance you will become pregnant. However, perfect practice of these techniques have been shown to be just as effective as other types of contraceptives. Additionally, because fertility awareness methods require the involvement of both partners, this type of natural birth control may not be suitable to those people who are not in a long term, committed relationship.
Another disadvantage of fertility awareness methods is that none of them offer any protection against sexually transmitted diseases. This is why it important to use this form of birth control only when you are in a long term, committed relationship. Otherwise, it will be necessary to use condoms when you have sex to prevent the transmission of STDs.
Before You Begin
If you and your partner would like to use fertility awareness as your form of contraception, it is a good idea to get some training in these techniques first. This will help to ensure that you are using these methods properly to avoid pregnancy. Contact your health care provider or pregnancy resource center who can offer you training or refer you to some one else that specializes in training couples. Here are some of the methods that you should consider:
Standard Days Method
Ovulation Method
Rhythm/Calendar Method
Sympto-thermal Method
Basal Body Temperature Charting
Fertility Computers

Check out www.babycenter.com. Go to the search box and type in "natural birth control". This will give you plenty of information on this topic. Although, take note that any of the natural birth control methods are highly unsuccessful and mostly stressful. I had my son using natural birth control methods...

It's great that you are looking into this! While I'm not sure about natural birth control, there are very reliable methods to tell you when you are ovulating, and when you don't want to become pregnant, you can abstain during these times. One of the most reliable indicators is your basal temperature, and also your cervical mucous. A great book on the topic is called Taking Control of your Fertility.
