infertility

I don’t know why some people get pregnant and some people don’t. God has good plans, but they are beyond my understanding. I had no trouble getting pregnant, so I haven’t experienced what many many couples go through with trying to conceive.
NFP should help you to know how the woman’s cycle is working. I’ve also read several studies on the importance of about four months of good nutrition in both the man and the woman before getting pregnant. Eating certain healthy foods has allowed some “infertile” couples to get pregnant. I’ll have to look for more specific information on this, but here’s one link for now:

Women
