Abstract
It is estimated that human population will increase by 1 billion people in the next decade. Millions of Indian women are at risk
of an unwanted pregnancy. About 70% of the women who want to space their next birth are using no family planning. The
necklace method, a new, natural method of family planning, is 95% effective when used correctly. It is most appropriate for
women with menstrual cycles between 26 and 32 days; couples must avoid unprotected intercourse during a woman’s fertile
period i.e., Days 8 through 19 of the woman’s menstrual cycle.
