At first Natural Family Planning may seem like a lot to absorb and you may feel like taking a birth control pill is much easier. It does become easier soon enough though as you practice, and think of the benefits of keeping man-made hormones out of your body. If you want to minimize the amount of time spent looking for signs of fertility I suggest using the saliva detector and keeping a temperature chart. It's reassuring to know where you are in your cycle.
There is quite a bit of information on Natural Family Planning whether you are using it for contraception or to achieve a pregnancy. The book I've heard most women refer to is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It has color photo's of cervical mucus and a blank master basal body temperature chart. Once you've read this book you'll be well on your way to monitoring your fertility and may become pregnant if that is your goal.
Another book that is a good source of information is The Infertility Diet. Get pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage by Fern Reiss.
Using Natural Family Planning can be as effective as the birth control pill.
