The Natural Family Planning Association (Alberta) is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to teach the Billings Ovulation Method of natural family planning.

The Billings Ovulation Method is based on awareness of the woman's natural cycles of fertility and infertility, unmodified by any chemical, mechanical, or other artificial means. It takes advantage of the biological fact that women are infertile more often than fertile throughout their reproductive years. A woman learns to recognize the fertile and infertile phases within her menstrual cycle. The fertile phase, that time when conception may occur, is recognized by physical signs accompanying ovulation. This knowledge, together with planned abstinence, can be used either to achieve or to postpone pregnancy.

Billings Ovulation Method™:

  • Developed by doctors (Drs. John & Evelyn Billings, Melbourne, Australia)

A totally natural way:

  • To understand your fertility

  • 99+% effective (According to studies done by the World Health Organization when couples are properly taught and the method is used correctly)
  • Strengthens relationships

The use of the Billings Ovulation Method is not compatible with barrier or hormonal forms of contraception, i.e. condoms or the Pill, either during the learning period or for family planning purposes.

As decisions concerning the family involve both partners, we invite couples to take joint responsibility for spacing their children. Successful use of the Billings Ovulation Method demands loving cooperation and therefore contributes to growth in communication, understanding and respect between partners - thus enhancing the total relationship.

Natural Family Planning Association (Alberta) was established in 1984 and is affiliated with W.O.O.M.B. International (World Organization Ovulation Method Billings) www.thebillingsovulationmethod.org and www.woombinternational.org and W.O.O.M.B. Canada www.woomb.ca.
