[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]

I mean, the success rate is quite high but it does take discipline and self control. If you have a normal cycle and only have sex after ovulation, it is 100% success rate of not getting pregnant. And when you do take some risks, like having sex during fertile window, you can't be too surprised by a pregnancy. People who rely on contraception are shocked when they get pregnant and there are plenty of stories of that. There is no perfect system.

But the point for OP is, it might make more sense for her to come off IUD and get her natural cycle back and try to NFP to learn more about her cycles and her fertile vs non fertile window since she is intending to get pregnant in the near future anyways. It honestly seems like a win win in her situation. By learning about her cycle, she can potentially identify fertility issues now vs later. Whole the whole NFP vs contraception might be a legit debate, there is a pretty simple answer for the situation OP is in. [/quote]
