Ep. 135: Can I trust Natural Birth Control?

Switching to Natural Birth Control of some type -- like fertility awareness methods or natural family planning -- can feel really scary. How effective is natural family planning anyway? What if it doesn't work? These are fair and valid questions that every woman/couple should ask as they figure out the best option for them. But the great news is that certain forms of natural birth control, like the Creighton Model System, are incredibly effective -- 99.5% for avoiding pregnancy! -- which is higher than hormonal birth control. Still, it can feel scary to trust anything to plan your family in the timeline you'd like. Today's episode talks about this directly, as Caitlin explores how one couple's experience speaks to the reality many couples face: when it comes to family planning, who/what should we really trust? We'll explore the role our faith plays in these important questions and how to know when you can trust in your family planning. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.
