Hi Amanda,
I'm Mary. I have 6 kids and have only used natural family planning
methods to avoid pregnancy in a few cycles. Our kids were spaced by
breastfeeding (2-3 years apart). We hope for more -soon. Once you get the
hang of it you will always know where you are in your cycle. For many
women just looking at the paper when you visit the bathroom is enough.
Your mucus patterns will be abnormal for a while after using the pill. It
would help if you took a class. A Catholic hospital or church could
direct you to classes(You don't have to be Catholic). There is a book
with clear mucus pictures on just the Billings method, unfortunately I
can't remember the name. It may have been "The Ovulation Method of Birth
Control". "The Art of Natural Family Planning"is another book which will
be helpful. It has a section on coming off of the pill. Used correctly,
NFP is as effective as the pill. ~Mary
