What are possible disadvantages of Fertility Awareness Methods?
• Even with correct use, the failure rate is often higher than with other methods. If the method is not used correctly and consistently, pregnancy is risked. • Learning the method takes time and effort. • Using the method requires considerable commitment, calculations and self-control. • Both the woman and her partner must use self-control, unless a barrier method is added during the fertile period. • If the woman or her partner has other sexual partners there is the risk of transmitting (passing on) a sexually transmitted disease.
