"Sometimes when daughters have a bad-girl mother, they rebel and become good girls. They are constantly embarrassed by me!"

For the modestly married
Submitted by S on Thu, 01/01/2009 - 01:22Dear Wendy,
A fertility monitor called the LadyComp might be of interest to any modestly married readers of this site, as well as to young women who would like to marry someday. This device seems to be well-accepted in Europe as an alternative to artificial and hormonal birth control. It can complement natural family planning techniques (charting, etc.) or even be used in place of them (it's apparently that accurate). Some think the LadyComp is less available in the US because of the money being made off the Pill. Anyhow, it seems like it is worth investigating. It is comforting to know that the integrity of the body doesn't have to be compromised for the sake of birth control. (Also, it is interesting how natural family planning is also linked, in a way, to the Jewish Orthodox purity laws, in that it works in with, rather than against, the natural cycles of a woman's body.)
