Natural Methods of Birth Control Index
Natural methods of contraception are considered "natural" because they are non-mechanical and non-hormonal. Natural methods of birth control require that a man and woman not have sexual intercourse during the time when an egg is available to be fertilized by a sperm. Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) are based upon knowing when a woman ovulates each month. Natural methods of birth control include: the calendar rhythm, basal body temperature, mucus inspection, symptothermal, use of an ovulation indicator testing kit, withdrawal, lactational infertility, douching and urination, and abstinence.
