[QUOTE]GulfCoaster - who is your NFP doc?  I live in Biloxi and am DESPARATELY looking for a Creighton model doctor or NFP-only doc - the nearest I can find is Baton Rouge.  I'm in the Air Force and they just keep trying to put me on BC (but FI and I want children as soon as possible and I am suspicious of the "health benefits" and more importantly health problems associated as many other ladies have posted here).  I have SUPER painful periods (you know its bad when you're in Iraq and they send you back to your bed with a loaded weapon and codeine...) and according to my charts it looks like I'm all screwed up, but blood tests have showed that I'm normal... bah.  A local doctor would be awesome to be able to go to...

Sorry, I missed this for a few days.  My doc is in Baton Rouge.

I think there are NFP-only doctors in Jackson and McComb, MS, too, and there should be NFP teachers in your area...  I've found that the NFP teachers often know of doctors and nurse practitioners who are NFP-friendly even if not NFP-only.  For a while, I was seeing a nurse practitioner who was sympathetic to NFP, though she also did prescribe BCP.  Try looking at <a href="http://onemoresoul.com/nfp-providers">http://onemoresoul.com/nfp-providers</a> for anyone within a couple hours' drive, and also look at the teachers (since they're a good referral resource).
