NFP or Natural Family Planning an the Couple to Couple League  www.ccli.org

Couples worldwide are choosing Natural Family Planning (NFP) for its healthful and marriage-building qualities, as well as its usefulness to plan or postpone pregnancy. Many couples are also grateful to use a family planning method that is in harmony with their religious beliefs.   Since its founding in 1971, CCL has provided instruction through NFP classes taught by professionally trained, volunteer couples who teach in their local communities. You can also learn through their acclaimed Home Study Course, available for order.

Learn how NFP works and its advantages in the About NFP section, and discover what the CCL organization is all about at About CCL. The Online Store contains many supportive books, videos, and audiotapes, as well as NFP materials. Finally, you can easily locate your nearest CCL Teaching Couple with our online search at Learn NFP.

Home Study:  The CCL Home Study Course
For those couples who do not have a local CCL Teaching Couple, or for those whose schedule prevents them from attending a local class series, CCL offers the CCL Home Study Course. You can learn NFP in the comfort of your home and at your own pace with this easy-to-follow course on the Sympto-Thermal Method. You receive all the necessary materials you need plus a valuable service — a professional review of your first three charts.

What materials and services are included?

  • YOUR GUIDE to the CCL HOME STUDY COURSE provides you with the guidance you need to work your way through the course.
  • THE ART OF NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING, the CCL user's manual that has been updated continually since its first publication in 1972.
  • ONE DIGITAL BASAL TEMPERATURE THERMOMETER for taking a woman's waking temperature each morning.
  • A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF CYCLE CHARTS for recording your daily observations.
  • ADDITIONAL BROCHURES AND PAMPHLETS — informational materials on related subjects such as . . . the Pill, breastfeeding, sterilization, etc.
  • A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO CCL'S BI-MONTHLY MAGAZINE — Family Foundations, our popular magazine that keeps you up-to-date on NFP and provides support you’ll find helpful as you adopt the NFP lifestyle.
  • PERSONAL CHART REVIEW in addition to the materials just listed, you'll also receive a valuable service — our professional review of your first three cycle-charts. As soon as you've finished charting your first cycle, you send us a copy. We'll review your charting and offer helpful comments. You do the same for as many cycles as needed, however, most couples do well without further review after three cycles.

What are the advantages of the CCL Home Study Course?

  • CONVENIENCE You learn it on your own…in the comfort of your own home…at the pace which meets your schedule.
  • QUALITY INSTRUCTION The step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions of the CCL Home Study Course have been thoroughly tested by couples just like you — and it works!!!
  • QUALITY MATERIALS The basic materials used in the CCL Home Study Course which teaches the Sympto-Thermal Method have been regularly updated and reviewed since being introduced in 1972 . . . insuring that you receive the latest and most up-to-date materials and information.
  • PERSONAL COUNSELING This is a unique feature of the CCL Home Study Course; it's not just materials, but service!
  • CONTINUED FOLLOW-UP With your one-year subscription to Family Foundations, you will be constantly in touch with the latest NFP findings.

What is the cost of the CCL Home Study Course?

The CCL Home Study Course is $70.95, plus shipping and handling, and provides you with lifelong knowledge of your fertility cycle. The only ongoing costs is for a new booklet of charts approximately once a year ($2.50), and an occasional new thermometer ($14.00).

These costs are a fraction of what a couple would spend on artificial birth control over the course of their fertile years.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

They are so convinced you'll be happy with the CCL Home Study Course that if, after looking over the materials, you are not satisfied that the CCL Home Study Course is a very complete and usable way to learn Natural Family Planning, then return all materials to them within 30 days to receive a complete refund.
