[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

It makes sense on a social level? Really? Written by a celibate man in 1968- the time when unplanned  pregnancies by  unmarried  women were seen as immoral, with children being sold into adoption after decades  of doing this in Europe and here in the US. Maternity homes run by nuns in Ireland are filled with  unmarked graves now found to contain baby corpses. Women shamed for being unmarried and pregnant, but  men moving on with their lives and antics despite being married themselves. Don't even try to discuss infidelity-  DNA has arrived to uncover the truth about how people behaved under the cloak  of the seemingly  married, pious, and the righteous.  Yes, all those secrets are out now.  You don't get an opportunity here to discuss what is moral in the slightest. You have ZERO voice.

So- sit TF down and stop talking about the sanctimony of human  life  when you aren't  prepared to understand what that means. We are no longer listening to men, especially  sanctimonious religious men who  protected  thousands  upon thousands of priests while they raped and abused women  and children all over the world for centuries- and are still doing it. The abuse, the subtrefuge, the murder, the hypocrisy, all in the name of God is epic and disgusting.

Women are in charge of their own bodies and their own life.  They will not be judged, shamed, or labeled  anymore. They have full worth whether they are unmarried, married, a parent or childless. It's time for the secrets, lies, abuse,  misogyny to be over. So, sometimes that does come in the form of an IUD, and that has nothing  to do with sin, priests, or any religion. We see where the sins are, and it's not an IUD.

OP, you keep your IUD and self worth. [/quote]

Well stated, Thank you. DNA testing, i.e., science, has changed everything, as it should.  People are no  longer stuck in ignorance.[/quote]
