Don't be deceived by this piece of shameless Vatican propaganda. There is name for people who use the rhythm method:- parents. I see they've rebranded it as Natural Birth Control or some such nonsense. You can pretty much guarantee that when the word "natural" is slipped into any advertising campaign - someone is lying. There was a cigarette campaign many years ago that referred to their particular brand of carcinogen as "natural".Ignorance, poverty, disease, AIDS and death are all natural..

@mikelheron20 sorry but I'm not Catholic or even Christian, so have absolutely no reason to be sharing Vatican propaganda. Just sharing what has worked for me for the past 12 years, and it is "natural", as in doesn't require introducing exogenous hormones into the body or any other substance. For the record, this is the only form of birth control I used for well over 8 years and I didn't get pregnant, when I got pregnant it was no accident.

what if a woman's menstrual cycle comes every 21 days? when will she be fertile and ovulate?

[arcamp83]

@JRockLovinAtheist I can't be sure, she should monitor her basal temperature and vaginal discharge for several months to establish a pattern.

so if im irregular then it wont really work? :(

@MsIslandSpice No, you won't be able to count your days, but you can use more intensive methods like tracking your body temp and monitoring cervical mucous...

this was a nice video. it's great that you seem like a very holistic person, who knows alot and is comfortable with their body. however, many women aren't, and i think it's important that until you're VERY familiar with it, that you use other methods of birth control. nothing is 100%, but this method especially is not, and i just think it's important to let your subscribers know what could possibly happen.

also, of course, this method does not protect from STIs.

@Pattydole70 Well, since you removed your comment, let me say that, no, I'm not the one who takes offense to videos like this. You know why? Because I have a brain. I do not have unprotected sex. I do not sit there and selfishly believe that I can outsmart nature. *I* don't take offense. That would be a question to ask the children who are conceived by people too selfish to spend one dollar on a condom, or invest in a diaphragm, or sponge.

would you ever consider trying the pill?

the rhythm method seems very interesting

I USE THIS TOO! It works if you pay attention to your body! I can even tell what ovary is producing an egg! BTW: I'm in my 30s without kids!

I loved your info, but was hesitent to click the link because I saw 'Rhythm Method', even though I hate the stigma surrounding Natural Family Planning methods. NFP methods should be as accessible, if not more so than popular contraceptives because NFP 'can' be as effective as hormonal bc.
