Thread: Natural Birth Control

I use NFP and have been doing so since 2/07 when I got an IUD removed. We have been successful in preventing pregnancy. I run a pretty normal 28 day cycle so it was easy for me. I use mymonthlycycles.com and abstain from sex or use a condom during fertile times. I increase my fertile times too just in case I give myself and extra 2 days before and a few days after what they say is my fertile time. It does tell you on the website that it should not be used to prevent pregnancy. There are things called cycle beads that essentially do the same thing and if you google naturl family planning you mayfind some local courses.

If you are positive you dont want kids then why don't you have a tubal or your husband a vasectomy ?

"If you are positive you dont want kids then why don't you have a tubal or your husband a vasectomy ?"

I don't want to risk an eptopic pregnancy. Plus, having your tubes tied also impacts your hormones. But mostly, because I don't want to totally modify my body like that.
