When I was fourteen, I was in the hospital for three weeks due to a ruptured appendix which caused me to have three surgeries. After I recovered, my menstrual cycles were very irregular. As time passed, I began to learn Natural Family Planning (NFP) which allowed me to be aware of my cycle pattern. I learned and observed the natural occurring signs that signaled when my menstruation was near. Through reading my signs, I noted that time and nutrition was what my body needed. I continued to chart my signs of fertility and noticed that my cycles were becoming more regular which showed me that my body was becoming balanced. Through NFP, I realized how beautifully my body is made and gained more respect for myself and body. I count myself blessed to be able to know when my cycle is coming just by reading the signs of my body. NFP allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for God and His creation of the woman. In addition, I consider God a genius to allow me to be prepared by His natural signs of fertility in a woman before “Aunt Flow” comes to visit!
