Mucus-Only Method: Creighton Model
👩🏾🤝👨🏽⛪🌷🥼👌🏻
- Tell us a little about yourself.
- Trying to attain holiness this side of Heaven so I can be with Christ forever!
- Happily married 10 years in October!
- 1 of 8 siblings 🙂 and also the 1 in 8 dealing with infertility 🙁 (Thought I'd have a large family but God said otherwise.)
- Shy but outgoing once I know you Business degree from Nicholls State
- What effects has fertility awareness had on your relationship?Refraining to avoid pregnancy was difficult as newlyweds. Then NFP was a chore when TTC because we "had to get it done" when I was ovulating. Spiritual direction has tremendously helped me see sex as a gift regardless the outcome. I love that my husband knows where I'm at in my cycle and is almost as knowledgeable about my body as I am.
- How did you find your instructor?Deacon at my church who was also a pharmacist. He believed in a holistic approach to health. I turned to him after my OB/GYN offered absolutely no help.
- Describe your daily charting routine.7 years of charting. I do mucus observations. It has become second nature now. When I had undiagnosed depression it was mentally painful and became a chore to make these observations.
- What made you choose this method?My doctor needed it to understand how to treat me. It was the method she used and it was the method taught to me. Like - it does become second nature eventually and it helped pinpoint problems in my health. Dislike - at one worst I felt overwhelmed in that every time I went to the bathroom I had a "job" in charting and could never get a break from it.
- Has charting helped you to understand your overall health?Medically it helped my doctor. I was able to see how stress had a negative effect on my cycle (it showed up in my chart).
