NFP failure rate is only 80%

I'll say false. In the book I'm reading on FAM it has a lower one, and they said its about the same for NFP because generally the failure is due to not following directions properly.

LOL. False. The failure rate for most modern NFP methods is less than 2%. The failure rate for FAM is the same as the failure rate for the barrier of choice.

Yeah I've always heard 98% accurate, but that when studies are done it comes out nearer to 75% because people have a tendency not to follow the rules, but that's the same as I bet we can all name somebody who got pregnant using bc who just wasn't taking it everyday, etc. So ditto Shawna.
