Natural Family Planning

When I was pregnant with dd #2 I found out that my grandma had never used birth control...she simply put her trust in Heavenly Father and she got 10 wonderful kids (5 miscarriages and says she would have had more if she could've:)!!  I thought wow, that is so cool, I want to be like that, so I talked to my DH about it and we decided that we would try it!!!:)  I also knew that baby #3 was supposed to join our family soon, so we used no birth control and dd #3 made her appearance almost 13 months after dd#2 (and boy is that little girl in a hurry to get things done!!:).  However, after that I lost my braveness and decided that it takes 3 to create a baby a man, a woman, and God.  I decided that using birth control (which really means condoms) was my way of telling Heavenly Father that I wasn't ready (and I know that no form of birth control is 100% effective, my aunt was told to never get pregnant again because of health risks to her and the baby and she was on 3 forms of birth control and still got pregnant...).  Then recently I was introduced to Natural Family Planning.  I read both of these posts and learned a lot!!:)
 
The latter recommends reading the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler (www.tcoyf.com) and so I checked it out from the library and I have learned so much about my body and reproduction!!!:)  I am loving it and I have to agree that this is the most natural and intuitive birth control out there!!:)  There are even some tips for infertility struggles!:)  So even if you just want to learn more about your body, I highly recommend the read!!:)
