[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would suggest natural family planning.  Especially since you plan to try for a baby soon, I'm not sure why this is such a big deal right now.  NFP is helpful anyways for learning about your body, and it will help you GET pregnant as much as AVOID getting pregnant. Just read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.  It is not religious, not connect to CC.  It is just science and important info about the female body. https://www.amazon.com/Taking-Charge-Your-Fertility-Anniversary/dp/0062326031/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1LOGJP05COAFA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KZYy0w0L9GiAkmKQuFtMIf1645s-MkMj8u6S9rpU8PDdbWOgTXgd6EnLhLnxgqUrZ2MvgqB1-s6DcE_aeJ8vnAbnru5tC8ZepzfF_HD8xInxLZbX_LN8BHK7XKe2Fk64aSmVS2dl62dgVumjv4tZLNg3OR63DM6UiN__yObPWmbhQrmCRVpZ9H7Ee6T7X8yQPA9UHGvKrA8QPV7qdSL17ztQ1hYBe44QnC8mEtzJW-4.hIelKD3f75I63HoHIqP7s3R5-OYtmleAuTQdabtyhGo&dib_tag=se&keywords=taking+control+of+your+fertility&qid=1756922947&sprefix=taking+control+of+your+fertility%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1

I don't know about you, but I expect the success rate for contraceptives to be much, much higher than the success rate of conception. Saying it works as well for both suggests an awfully low bar.[/quote]

The reason NFP works in both directions so to speak is that it identifies the “fertile window” of a relatively few days each month when a woman can become pregnant. If she wants to defer pregnancy, she avoids relations during that window. If she wants to become pregnant she times relations for when the target is in range. This latter approach is hardly unique to NFP users.  Many women hoping to become pregnant use various methods to identify ovulation, such as test sticks. [/quote]

Yes, and in practice it has a very high failure rate.

I would think anyone staunchly opposed to abortion would want to see highly effective contraception.[/quote]

Did you read the “Humanae Vitae”someone else linked to earlier in this thread?  It explains why the Catholic Church is opposed to both abortion and contraception.  It’s pretty accurate  in its predictions on how the widespread use of both would change society.  
1) general moral degradation including an increase in infidelity, pre-marital pregnancy, and divorce.

2). The loss of respect for women and an increase in violence toward women.

3). Government/public authorities imposing contraception or sterilization on its citizens.  This hasn’t happened in the western world, but there is certainly a social enforcement of contraceptive use for both married and unmarried women.

4). General loss of respect for human life including loss of respect for the elderly.

So, this makes sense on a social level.  But I don’t know that it makes sense on an individual level when you live in a society where unplanned pregnancies, even within a marriage, are seen as almost immoral.
