A question for the fine folks who know NFP businesses. We’re trying out charting, however my wife’s cycle has been wildly out of control and we’re not sure we’re doing it right. We’ve been abstaining from intercourse until we figure things out.

Until last night, that is, when we sort of started then realized “oh wait, babies!” then stopped.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to p(name removed by moderator)oint some possible symptoms, and there’s only two that I can think of.
  1. Although this was largely instigated by her due to wanting to feel close in “that” sense" (plus physical attraction), she did mention she was fine with babies.
  2. My wife was complaining of sharp vaginal pains today. I recall that means *something( in NFP land, I forget what.

Is babies the new STD? Perhaps looking at the procreation aspect of sex should require a more healthy and Holy outlook on children.

Other than that it sounds like you two need to take an NFP class because you do not give any indication of what method you are using or how long this has been going on.
  1. That could mean that you need to sit down and have a talk about why you are abstaining. Perhaps there are not serious reasons to do so. But that has to be between you two and a well formed conscience.
  2. That is too vague to answer. Sharp pains could be many things, from menstruation to a sharp object.🤷

Agree with all of this, but especially this about the pain. It doesn’t seem like you are very familiar with NFP, or that your wife is familiar with her body. Paying attention to the signals for a while helps. In terms of pain, I can identify a lot of different “pains” or uncomfortable sensations - twinges, stabs, soreness, and so on. It’s also possible that the pain could be leftover from intercourse, depending on how far you got, positioning, etc.

I would find a class or consult an instructor.

Isn’t this kind of true regardless? 😉
