Knowledge flowing out of my ears!

Many thanks to VJ who suggested The Garden of Fertility by Katie Singer.



This book has gotten me through the hours of being propped up on sofa pillows this week! It truly is a companion book to Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility



I am so glad to read The Garden of Fertility because it cleared up a few questions that I had after reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility. If you are looking for info on charting your cycles either to keep from getting pregnant or to get pregnant or just to know more about your own health - these two books are a MUST HAVE!!

I continue to be outraged that this information is not more freely taught to young women! Yet another way that the government and the church feed into their phobias about sexuality. Oh my - imagine how horrible it would be for women (of any age married or single) across the U.S. to know exactly what was going on her OWN body! Furthermore imagine the chaos that would ensue, if all those young unmarried or married women knew when they were fertile and infertile each month! Of course it makes so much more sense to keep this top-secret information out of these women's hands. Only god,the government, or a husband should control woman's fertility!

Hey, now don't bash the Church. They TEACH Natural Family Planning!!! They encourage people to use it instead of artifical birth control!!! I have learned a lot from our NFP classes that are taught by the Couple to Couple League (a Catholic organization).
A popular misconception is that the church doesn't believe in any form of contreception and you should have as many children as possible and that is NOT WHAT THEY TEACH. They teach you to accept children if God's gifts you with them, but to also practice prudience when having a family.
