Learning NFP – a personal account by Alexandra, aged 28
Alexandra is 28 years old and shares her experiences with NFP.
Did you have any concerns at the start that it wouldn’t work or that it wasn’t safe?
Yes, I did. Mainly about whether I was interpreting my cervical mucus correctly. Whether I’d manage to take my temperature regularly. Overall, it was quite a lot to take in at the start.
What were the biggest hurdles for you and how did you overcome them?
Actually, interpreting the cervical mucus. I did some online courses on it – and now it’s going really well.
How do the people around you react when you tell them you’re using NFP?
The people around me want to know all about it. Among my friends in particular, there’s a real shift in thinking going on right now. Almost all of them have stopped taking the pill.
What advice would you give to people interested in NFP or to newbies?
“Keep at it – it’ll be worth it! Do a course to learn how to identify cervical mucus.”
