Hi ladies,
I was around this board for a bit before our wedding last May, but haven't been on the knot much since...too much going on!
I have an NFP question:
I never learned an NFP method before we got married. I was on hormonal birth control before the marriage (we abstained until marriage) to control endometriosis and on no birth control method after the marriage. We are expecting our first baby in late September.
We do not want to use any artificial birth control after the baby. I am planning to breastfeed, which I know has some fertility reduction effect (at least it did for my mother with all 5 of us!) but I know this is not a sure thing. We do want to have at least one more baby, but I'd like to give my body a bit of recovery time in between!
What NFP method would you ladies suggest I look into for learning postpartum? I realize this is probably a difficult and very non-ideal situation in which to learn NFP, but at this point there's not much for it! :-P
Is there one method that is better than others for postpartum? For somebody trying this for the first time? (I will say that even pre-pregnancy my sleeping patterns are erratic, so something requiring me to take a temperature at the same time every day probably won't be ideal.) Can you point me towards any good resources dealing with postpartum NFP specifically?
TIA!
