KNOW YOUR BODY!

I'm a Certified Natural Family Planning teacher - and I LOVE teaching women how to understand their bodies!  I talk to women all the time who are having problems with irregular bleeding - missed periods - and infertility who aren't getting the kind of help they deserve from their doctors.  All too often a doctor will simply put a woman on the Pill to "regulate" her cycle - without looking at why her cycle needs regulating in the first place!  I think this is lazy - there are lots of reasons why a woman might have irregular cycles - some of them are medical - and can be treated (and using the Pill to artificially control bleeding isn't treatment if nothing else is done).  Tests should be run to see if the woman's endocrine system is working properly.  If everything checks out normal, talking about stress levels is also helpful, as stress can wreak havoc on a woman's cycle.

Students who are trained to "chart" their cycles can learn when they're fertile - and when they're not.  They can use this information to postpone pregnancy - or plan pregnancy.  They can also use this information to monitor their reproductive health - when something changes on their chart they will either be able to explain it (high stress levels that cycle - loss of sleep - etc), or they will know that it's time to see a doctor.

Keeping a record of your fertility is empowering!  The Pill (and any other birth control method that relies on hormones) carries risks - there are potentially life-threatening side effects with any artificial method of birth control.  Natural Family Planning is safe - there are no side effects - and it's as effective as anything else on the market when there is good instruction and the couple follows the guidelines they've been taught.

SO - do you want to have to buy a drug that you will take when you're not sick - that can make you sick (now or later) - or do you want to know your body? !
