Learn how to use fertility awareness as contraception
Fertility awareness (natural family planning) means using your waking temperature, cycle length and fluid or ovulation tests, to work out when you are fertile.
To avoid pregnancy you need to use condoms or other precautions for at least eleven days a month.
The NHS website says "when used correctly all the time, fertility awareness methods are between 91% and 99% effective at avoiding pregnancy." It also suggests you get support.
It's not rocket science, you can even learn on your own, but it takes more than downloading an app.
