This is just what I found in *my* particular research. I am not as formally educated as some, more than others, and certainly not an MD.<BR/><BR/>You are more than welcome to give us other web sites or other sources of information. That was kind of my original point, I think most of us just trust what someone else says instead of searching for ourselves. Any input you add will just add to the information.<BR/><BR/>Again, nice to see you; and I look forward to what you have to say!S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147846392027326832006-05-16T23:13:00.000-07:002006-05-16T23:13:00.000-07:00Funny, I was of the IUD=abortion view until I was ...Funny, I was of the IUD=abortion view until I was about 37.

Actua...Thanks so much for the site recommendations! Actually we were using the mucus method before Jonah was born. It worked, as far as knowing when I was fertile. Problem is I think I might ovulate twice a month, and my brain does this funny thing when I AM ovulating-- it's like it goes into procreation overdrive, and suddenly I don't care that I'm ovulating. After the girls and Jonah, I still didn't feel like we were completely done having kids, but now I do, and I'm really reluctant to take any chances with my baby-brain. We use condoms even when I KNOW I'm not ovulating, just in case.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820328973177170020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147447863973060862006-05-12T08:31:00.000-07:002006-05-12T08:31:00.000-07:00Yolanda (a name in our house that *has* to be said...Yolanda (a name in our house that *has* to be said in a very deep sultry voice...wierd but true. Every Yolanda we know - we just drive crazy, I guess you're next!)<BR/><BR/>Yolanda, ahem, Thanks so much for commenting! Wow, it is always amazing to me what certain folks have to do to have a little one. I admire you for your dedication, and willingness to share it with us. <BR/><BR/>I do know that the Lord understands all the intricasies of each of us. Everyone is indeed different in our situations, I am sure the Lord knows your heart.<BR/><BR/>I offer you the same (although perhaps you have already "been there, done that") web site info as I did Rebecca above. These are methods based upon each individual's body and much higher success than basil temps, etc.<BR/><BR/>http://www.billings-centre.ab.ca/general/index.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.familyplanning.net/index-home.html<BR/><BR/>The folks who teach these methods have had HUGE success in the far east and India where BC is considered a sin or worse. Go over, check it out and see if it can make your life easier.<BR/><BR/>In the mean time, you have my best wishes for safe pregnancies when they come; and a house full of as many little ones as wish. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Yolanda, come back soon!S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147446784163365962006-05-12T08:13:00.000-07:002006-05-12T08:13:00.000-07:00This was a VERY interesting post.

In my case, I fall into a unique category of sorts...Due to a chronic health condition, I have to basically "plan" to get pregnant or it could be life-threatening to me and/or the baby. Saying this...I can also only take certain kinds of BC due to my condition.(Kind of my own catch 22!) I'm just glad that the Lord knows the nature of my heart, and that I am trying to live righteously as best I can. If things were different, I would LOVE to have as many spirits in my home as possible...I think it's horrible how some people treat the ability to procreate, but at "appearances only," I would hate to be judged by them, when only I, my husband, and the Lord know my situation. <BR/>Once again, EXCELLENT post!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308067748781060331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147446685890921342006-05-12T08:11:00.000-07:002006-05-12T08:11:00.000-07:00Thanks sis, although I did a lot of cut and paste ...Thanks sis, although I did a lot of cut and paste for my info.

I know I was amazed at how many health workers, dr.s, nurses, whomever, are eager to lead women blindly down this path. grrr!<BR/><BR/>I am not sure if you are aware of some other options. The word "midwife" clued me into the fact that you are #1 open minded, and #2 someone who is willing to learn something new. With that in mind I offer the following websites that instruct on natural methods. The percentages of unplanned pregnacy are just about the same as OTC BC, only using knowledge instead of chemicals.<BR/><BR/>http://www.billings-centre.ab.ca/general/research.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.familyplanning.net/index-home.html<BR/><BR/>Granted it's not for everyone, but it may be a more comfortable option rather than risking allergies to your current methods.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again and I hope to see you often!S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147406270552050142006-05-11T20:57:00.000-07:002006-05-11T20:57:00.000-07:00Way to go sis.

Every time I had a baby (or babies) my doctor would pressure me to take some kind of contraception, but I always ended up reading the fine print in the box and throwing it away. I came so close to getting an IUD last time, but nobody could guarantee it wasn't abortive, and then my midwife finally told me that, indeed, it is. It took me years to understand that they were making a distinction between preventing implantation and killing embryos. Now we're resigned to using condoms only, which is hard because I'm allergic to latex and spermicide, so we have to pay a bundle for polypropylene. But it's worth it. Thanks for putting it out there so well.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820328973177170020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11515373.post-1147378620645302192006-05-11T13:17:00.000-07:002006-05-11T13:17:00.000-07:00Thanks Jamie J!
