Pope Francis upholds ‘Billings Revolution’ | Archdiocese of Wellington Pope Francis has called for a ‘new revolution’ in today’s way of thinking human sexuality, by refocusing on its connection with the fundamental vocation of each person, which is the ‘gift of self’.

Pope Francis upholds "Billings Revolution" - Vatican News In a message to participants in the WOOMB International Congress Rome on the Billings Method, Pope Francis highlights its ongoing contribution to ...

A recent study on the effects of periodic abstinence on marital relationships, concluded that couples who used natural family planning (NFP) methods, and who refrained from lo******ng during the fertile time of the woman’s menstrual cycle, had improved self-esteem, stronger marriages, and lower divorce rates than those who relied on sterilization or contraception alone.

• Couples using NFP also reported higher levels of self-esteem and spiritual well-being compared to couples not using these methods.
• The frequency of sexual in*******se for NFP users did not vary significantly compared to those using other forms of family planning, like oral contraception, female sterilization, and condoms.

In the First RRM Global Summit

The Billings Ovulation Method® can be used to regulate fertility whilst breastfeeding and managing the return to regular ovulatory cycles.

Infertility can be present for weeks or many months after birth, however some women who are successfully fully breastfeeding their baby may have a return to fertility as early as six weeks post birth!

Our accredited teachers help new mothers commence charting three weeks after giving birth - which enables them to start recognising their signs of infertility and potential fertility. Learning how to chart during breastfeeding, has allowed new parents to enjoy physical intimacy without extended abstinence or having to take artificial contraceptive should conception be avoided.

Make the best choice for your body – what’s good for you, is good for baby. 👶
