Only three months ago my husband and I decided to switch to NFP - I started taking the pill without knowing anything about it after a doctor suggested it was the best way to treat my irregular, heavy periods. Since I had checked for all other causes of this and was deemed healthy the pill was presented as a the easiest solution - little did I know how it would expect my moods, my body and later my personal life with my husband. Like many others the pill is prescribed not just for contraception but for skin problems and mensural irregularities. When it came time for me to marry my husband and I just decided for me to stay on the pill but never felt quite right about it. About six months into our marriage I started doing my own research about it and was shocked with what I found... Also I was determined that there had to be a healthy, natural way to plan families that honored God's design for us not blocked it out. I was lent a book from a friend from my church on NFP and not long after we decided to switch. I have now been pill free for my third month! I have felt so<br />much better in mind, body and spirit. I have also found myself telling<br />friends and family about my experience and conviction and lent them books and articles about the health (and emotional) implications of the pill. One friend decided with her husband to come off the pill a month ago for similar reasons as me. Praise God! I will continue to tell my story.<br />My relationship with my husband has strengthed and deepened as well. Since our decision to live with total faith and devotion - we have had a renewed desire to pray for God's grace and calling on our family. <br /><br />Also I love that with NFP you actually learn to read and understand your body (and how complex and beautifully made it is) and in doing so the best times to try for a baby, <br /><br />I pray that you and your family will continually be blessed as you follow the Lord's leading, and for myself that we might have a little one growing soon xx<br />xxemilyclarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083829971166295179noreply@blogger.com
