Having knowledge of how fertility (and especially your fertility) works will be helpful not only in avoiding conceiving when the timing isn't right, but in having kids if/when you are ready.
In other words, look into Natural Family Planning methods.Don't call it a comeback. It's a riposte.

IMO, if one is "ready" to be married, then one should be "ready" for the natural consequences - i.e., children.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

That said if you DO use NFP research it extensively to make sure you are a good candidate for it.

Some hormones prevent not just conception but implantation. Morally of course I am against this.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

In any case, I'm as regular as a calendar so it'll probably be one of my go-tos.
