Anyone doing Family Planning?

Question

Hi ladies! 
My husband and I are not necessarily trying to get pregnant yet, but if it happens we are ok with starting a family. We have wanted to give family planning a try, and have been mostly using condoms up until now.
I was just wondering if anyone has tried this method. We are getting sick of condoms, but I can't be on any hormonal birth control for health reasons.
TIA!

Answer

Love FAM/STM/NFP! Been using it for 4+ years. We use condoms when we need to be safe. No tragedy there, I actually like the contrast. Can't imagine using any other birth control method.

Answer

Worked for me for 5 years. I don't even take my temperature anymore, I just look at my mucus & other body symptoms

Answer

I'm back to using the Fertility Awareness Method after the pill failed me. One more high temp and I've ovulated. I love FAM.

Answer

We are!  We have used NFP along with the pullout method with success so far.

Answer

I used Glow to track my fertility (I'm like clockwork), and we avoided high percentage days and used pull out on other days. However, there seems to have been a mistake in February... I swear I checked the app and it said there was only a 5% chance of conceiving, but after receiving a positive pregnancy test a few weeks later, I looked back and it said it was 23% chance on that day (or something like that). Oops! :) We are overjoyed to be expecting, even though it wasn't planned at all.  Sounds like you're in a good position for this, so even if you do get an oopsie, it'll be ok. ;)

Answer

We are using Fertility Awareness Method along with condoms (because we want to avoid a baby right now). Once you have mastered this method, you could have unprotected sex during your non-fertile days we just don't feel confident enough in it and I don't enjoy the mess of sex without a condom. Check out the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It is an incredible book full of information.

Answer

It worked for us for four years... With withdrawal, since condoms suck. I can't vouch for not withdrawing

Answer

We use NFP and we love it we had a bAby 8 weeks ago (planned)!and we plan on going back to it
