Hi ladies, I am just starting NFP. I am a happily married, catholic mother of 2 children. I have been married for almost 10 years, my oldest child is almost 5 and my little one is almost 2 (both have March birthdays!) I became catholic in 2006 and one month later became pregnant with my first child (holy spirit at work perhaps?). I had my second daughter in 2010. As my husband and I are growing in our faith and raising our children in a catholic household, this has become a big topic of research and discussion. We are not cafeteria catholics that pick and choose which parts of catholicism fit our lifestyle but this really hadn't been an issue for us previously. Now that we are both pretty set on not having any more children, we need to be more careful and so we just started charting this month.

sabrina, I would highly recommend taking a course, or doing a formal learning about this. I have heard that the book taking charge of your fertility is also very helpful.

I plan to start soon. Any advice on where to start as far as books and or couses?
