Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an umbrella term for methods used to achieve/avoid pregnancies based on the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's menstrual cycle. Learn more here: What is Natural Family Planning?
Click on one of our NFP methods for method-specific information and instructor profiles:
The cost of a full course of NFP in the Diocese of Bismarck for engaged couples is $175 for all methods other than the Couple to Couple League Sympto-Thermal Method.
Any of the different NFP methods (Billings, Couple to Couple League, Creighton, Marquette, or SymptoPro) will fulfill your pre-marriage requirement. You MUST take a class with a certified instructor in our diocese.
