I'm in with Ms. Doula, Paxetbonum, & Palmetto210. We used NFP to prevent pregnancy while dh was in school. As soon as he got a fulltime job, we used it to ttc (were successful first try). We'll breastfeed to space babies and might resume charting too, depending on whether dh finds a teaching job or if some other difficult situation comes up. Otherwise, we're letting God decide the size and spacing of our family.

I would be in trouble if I BF to space babies, I got my period back at 6mo pp.

we use the withdrawl method here and have for 6 years, so far so good. I want one more so I would not be too distraught if I got pregnant now. We plan on TTC next year. I never rememer to take the pill on time and I tried depo before and had a period for almost 9 months straight, it was horrible. I am going to get the TCOYF and read it !!! I have been meaning to anyway.

It's my understanding that quite frequent nursing is necessary to prevent cycles from returning in the average woman, in addition to no pacifiers or bottles. If someone doesn't nurse multiple times at night, her chances for her cycle to return go up considerably. If my cycles come back 6 mo pp regardless of doing this, I'd probably go back to charting until I felt physically ready to be pregnant again.

we nurse on demand and always have. she has always been up a ton at night and is still up between 2-4 times a night. I was constantly feeding her and they still came back, no bottles since she was 1 month old and those were few and far between. We supplemented for a month because of jaundice which I did not know any better at the time. She took a paci, but rarely and we have already taken it away, but we never gave it without nursing first.

We use FAM with condoms as backup. Dh orders them online from www.condomcountry.com which is a great site; they're always very prompt with shipping. (We joke that they send them the day before we run out ) Beyond Seven is the brand we use, it's very thin and comfortable, but durable So far our method has worked quite well, although for some reason lately dh has been extra-cautious pre-O : I can't wait to use FAM for ttc!!!

OK, so I just clicked on my link and the brand we use is Okamoto, and they call them Beyond Seven...silly name, but they're good, I promise.

We use fertility awareness, with condoms during the danger period. It's worked perfectly for us for nearly two years, and we are very happy with it.
