Ano ang family planning
Douching, withdrawal and Natural family planning.
I don't know if there is such a thing as "artificial family planning", but natural family planning is a term used commonly to describe a method of fertility management in which a woman can observe bodily symptoms in order to know when she is fertile and either use that time to avoid unprotected sex if she does not wish to conceive or use that time to have sex if she does wish to conceive. Most commonly natural family planning is the sympto thermal method, which is NOT the rhythm method. It can be as effective as the perfect use rate for hormonal contraceptives if used properly.
Natural family planning is a method that can be used either to achieve or to prevent pregnancy. This method involves understanding when a woman is fertile. Some of the ways this can be determined is by using the calendar and by monitoring basal body temperature.
All of those except hoping will reduce the risk of pregnancy, but oral contraceptives have a much greater effectiveness than natural family planning or withdrawal. Used correctly and consistently, natural family planning using proven methods like Cycle Beads or symptothermal method can be quite effective.
