Lactation and postpartum infertility: the use-effectiveness of natural family planning (NFP) after term pregnancy.

The use-effectiveness of natural methods of family planning in lactation is evaluated by comparing the incidence of unplanned pregnancies in a group of nursing mothers practising these methods with the incidences reported previously in surveys of breastfeeding women using no contraception. The complexity of the physiological processes involved in the resumption of ovulation after term pregnancy is discussed in relation to NFP and the problems encountered by its users in the context of normal family life. The serum prolactin and gonadotrophin levels are correlated with the postpartum interval and nursing status of the participants and discussed in relation to NFP after childbirth.

Natural family planning after pregnancy. A problem for women with previously irregular menstrual cycles.

A prospective six-year study (1975-1980) of 273 patients, monitored in the use of natural family planning (NFP), has shown that those with previously irregular menstrual cycles are disadvantaged in the subsequent use of the ovulation method after pregnancy in that they have fewer recognizable safe days and/or are more likely to have unplanned pregnancies than women who had regular cycles prior to pregnancy. Eight patients, seven nursing and one non-nursing mother, conceived during postpartum amenorrhoea. The reliability of memory in the recall of previous menstrual histories is discussed in relation to the results of an international study of menstrual cycles by the World Health Organization (WHO 1983). The relevance of prediction of menstrual events in natural family planning is also considered.
