WOW - did I take a vacation or what?!? I can tell this is going to be an amazing year for my magazine material!
I can honestly tell you that matters of the heart could really care less what the Church says - it is a battle I think all of us go through at some point, maybe just on different levels. I have been there when it comes to wanting a baby so bad you hear them cry in the night. I even had "feelings" of being pg when I wasn't just because of my obsession. Black and White can become very, very gray during that time. That being said, I never considered any artificial methods beyond regulating my cycles - I have always been leery of some medical practices even before I was Catholic. My DH and I always said that we would adopt if we couldn't have our own (I would still love to, but DH is happy with us trying
) I am very, very fortunate that I was able to conceive all of mine naturally without even fertility drugs. I feel sometimes that I just have no room to comment on these topics because of that. I think it sometimes comes down to "Not my will, but THY Will". Hard thing to do and even harder to determine at times.
I just wish the very best for all of you cysters! Tons of that babydust!!!!
