Peak (Days) and Valleys: NFP and Infertility
The Springs in the Desert Podcast: Catholic Accompaniment Through Infertility
Stacey is joined by Katie and Anna for Natural Family Planning Awareness Week 2021. We discuss the good, bad, and the ugly when it comes to using NFP when you're having difficulty conceiving. Language matters and we discuss the different NFP lingo (including the term Natural Family Planning itself) and the connotations we have with them. Finally, we talk about the importance of allowing for a break, whether it's for your mental health or the health of your marriage. You are under No Obligation to do Everything At All Times to increase your chances of pregnancy, and sometimes the best thing to do is to take a big step away from the chart/app/medications.

About Podcast
At Springs, we know that infertility is a heavy cross. But as Catholics, we believe that by keeping our focus on Christ, we can come through this season of waiting stronger in faith and love—no matter what happens. So each week, we’ll bring you a conversation that gets to the heart of the infertility experience – including primary/secondary infertility, miscarriage/loss, childlessness, and more.
It is an honor to walk with you! Visit us: www.springsinthedesert.org
