Am I cheating God?

Hello there. Recently me and my husband have been struggling to have a child, and recently I used an online calculator to find my exact ovulation days - is this cheating nature, and God, to have a child? Am I being selfish doing this? I’m not sure if I can really talk to anyone about it because it’s messing with my head, so I ask here hoping for forgiveness if necessary, and to find out if I am in the wrong and need to change my ways.

No, it is not.

Using technology and knowledge which God blessed mankind with is good so long as you’re using it to a good end.
 
Using our God given intellect to interpret the signs that God designed in our bodies is not a sin.

I would recommend learning something more precise than an online calculator. There are OPKs and methods like Creighton or Sympto Thermal or devices like the Daysy

There is nothing wrong with that. I suggest you talk to a Priest if needed, but specifically, research NFP (some of NFP is constructed similarly to what you are doing but much more in depth) and watch/listen to Jason Evert’s talk Green Sex - Parenting For Purity on YouTube. Here is the link:

Completely fine.
Probably what a priest would tell you to do.
 
You are not cheating God. You are using what God gave you to a good end.
 
Thank you all for the replies - I’m a lot more at ease now!!

I’ll look into it, from my brief search it’s certainly something I’ll have a go at 🙂

Thank you! I’ll have a watch tonight, from a brief flick through sounds like a good learning experience!
