Thanks for the encouragement! Please keep the comments coming. I need all the help I can get right now. I am nervous to go talk to a preist about this - it just feels weird to talk to an older man about this subject. And I know that they...

Yeah after looking into it more and talking to dh abstaining just isn't going to work for us. We'll use withdrawal or condoms util after O. I'm just in a difficult position because I was going to start using NFP for religious reasons, I...
