That is too bad you've been attacked for your NFP beliefs! I may not feel the same way as others about the reason for doing it but I respect everyone's wishes.
My OB is now only advocating NFP. He will no longer perform tubals or prescibe BCP's due to his Catholic beliefs. He has always been Catholic so I'm not sure why all of a sudden he stopped but he did. Now....he will refer his patients who need those things to the other dr in his practice so if you want BCP or a tubal he will make sure you get it from her but he will not do it. I respect his convictions on this. He did prescribe the BCP to me since it is for my PCOS though.View Thread


I forgot, I also try to limit dryer use!View Thread

Without them I have horrible cramping and will go 4-6 months between cycles (going more than 3 months between cycles increases your risk for ovarian cancer). I will also tend to put on weight. So the BCP's help regulate my PCOS. All that said, once we have #3 in the future I want to try to avoid going back on BCP's. We'll see how it goes. There is also the 2 day method of family planning. You just measure your cervical secretions. If you were "wet" in the last 2 days you could be fertile so you avoid DTD or use condoms. If you have been "dry" for the last 2 days you are safe and should not be fertile. Here is more info:

I was thinking of giving this a shot because I can't chart or do normal NFP because my cycles are wacky.View Thread

- Cloth diapering (most of mine are organic)
- no paper towels
- all natural cleaners
- Working on cutting out high fructose corn syrup
- organic and/or local veggies and fruits
- Growing tomatoes and strawberries (my first time. Hope to do a full garden next year!)
- about 1/2 of our light bulbs are energy efficient
- local, pasture raised beef (from my dad!)
- got a breadmaker for Mother's Day (using for the first time today to make whole wheat pizza crust!)
- whole grains vs refined and enriched grains
- fresh eggs from farmers market or locally raised free range chickens
- recycling (my city gives us recycle bins and takes about everything other than glass which I take some place else)
- working on cutting out BPA laidened stuff

- Eco-friendly detergent. Just ordered samples from www.crunchyclean.com and www.rockingreensoap.com (also want to support a WAHM!)
- reusable sandwich/snack bags
- more eco-friendly vehicles

We will start TTC #3 at the end of this year and that will be it. 3 seems like a perfect number for our current situation (however we do plan to adopt later on...)View Thread
