I have had four pregnancies in that time. lol. I am a AVID believer that NFP works. you just have to have a husband who cooperates. two of the four pregnancies I knew I was fertile.. my husband was just too far along in the moment to care. His choice=two babies. The other two pregnancies were a complete shock! and were bc of my lack of discipline to be regimented. Therefore that resulted in Alex and the miscarriage. <BR/><BR/>All that to say, yes I do believe something permanent is the solution for us. I don't have a strong track record with NFP and the risk is too high to take that chance. Does that make sense? AND. And no I do not want birth control bc i have not seen one on the market that doesn't have the abortificiant agent in it. thats why i got off of them to begin with.Rachel Garcia, CD(DONA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05481183994435059363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173054993762076586.post-18980551198342831512008-07-31T06:23:00.000-04:002008-07-31T06:23:00.000-04:00I have heard of difficulties with vasectomies, too...I have heard of difficulties with vasectomies, too. Christy Donovan (David Donovan's wife) sent me an e-mail telling of a friend of hers who's husband had some bad effects from it. However, that is the only one I've heard of. I would research it.<BR/><BR/>We are doing more of an old-fashioned method.;) Allergies to latex and becoming a total witch on birth control pills can make you think of creative alternatives.<BR/><BR/>Do you have to do something permanent?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166103373676743938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173054993762076586.post-13469053032452821742008-07-30T16:45:00.000-04:002008-07-30T16:45:00.000-04:00kim.. i don't mind you saying anything else about ...kim.. i don't mind you saying anything else about it. ;-)<BR/><BR/>do you know anything about difficulties with the vasectomy?Rachel Garcia, CD(DONA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05481183994435059363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173054993762076586.post-92025688610124056332008-07-30T16:40:00.000-04:002008-07-30T16:40:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry...Please, let me encourage to rethink...I'm so sorry...<BR/><BR/>Please, let me encourage to rethink a tubal ligation. I know of so many (incredible amounts-including my mother and mother-in-law) who had countless problems due to their tubal ligations. My mother made my sister and I swear that we would not have one (she endured pain for the better part of a decade-until her early thirties when she had a total hysterectomy-she was 32 years old). I have many friends (including people you know) who have had many difficulties that they attribute to a tubal ligation. <BR/><BR/>I tell you this not to be a source of discouragement, but very much out of concern for your well-being. I know that this is an extremely difficult decision and I will not say anything else about it.<BR/><BR/>Much love.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166103373676743938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173054993762076586.post-87271876090563568582008-07-30T15:49:00.000-04:002008-07-30T15:49:00.000-04:00thanks jaci..
