While I do realise that few believe as we do about trusting God and letting Him plan our family, one should really think and research carefully before popping The Pill as a contraceptive. Or inserting the IUD for that matter. Actually anything that alters the way our bodies are designed to work by God is a bad, bad idea.
Here’s what Mercola.com, a secular website has to say of The Pill,
“Most birth control pills are a combination of the derivatives of the hormones estrogen and progestin. They work by mimicking the hormones in your body, essentially fooling your intricate hormonal reproductive system into producing the following effects:
- Preventing your ovaries from releasing eggs
- Thickening your cervical mucus to help block sperm from fertilizing an egg
- Thinning the lining of your uterus, which would make it difficult for an egg to implant, should it become fertilized
However, it is naïve to believe that these are the only impacts the synthetic hormones are having. Your reproductive system does not exist in a bubble … it is connected to all of your other bodily systems as well. The Pill, too, does not only influence your reproductive status; it’s capable of altering much more.

Choose wisely. Think of the long term consequences of your choice.
I can attest first-hand to what happens when hormones go out of whack… the overall health is affected, not just fertility. It’s not just the pill; a lot of chemicals we come into contact daily can emulate estrogen in our body.
