Natural Family Planning Classes   

Billings Ovulation Method classes

What is Billings?

Couples track the woman's natural and unique signs of fertility and infertility each day. Observations of the cervical mucus are noted daily primarily through what the woman feels at the vulva during normal daily activities and secondarily through the appearance of the mucus. The Billings Method requires neither internal examinations nor recording temperatures.

When and where are the classes?

Taught in Spanish only, at this time. To register or for more questions, please call Marco and Anabel Ordoñez at 815-382-1719.

Couple to Couple League (CCL) classes

What is CCL?

The couple takes basal temperature readings at a consistent time. The woman makes note of cervical fluid, if present on the tissue after voiding. Internal observations may identify an earlier start of the fertile period. Palpation of the cervix confirms the other signs of fertility. Once the method is learned, couples chose which signs of fertility they will monitor.
