Marriage & Family Life > Married Couples > Struggling with Infertility
Struggling with infertility is a painful and difficult journey for many couples. In their grief, they may reach out to doctors who immediately offer painful and invasive procedures that can also go against the life-affirming teachings of the Catholic Church. Often, less invasive methods for discovering the source of infertility and possible solutions are not even offered by most medical practitioners.
Various methods of Natural Family Planning and specially trained medical practioners can offer alternative treatments for infertility and can also determine the causes of some reasons for infertility -- in a completely natural way! They carefully chart your body's natural cycles over a period of time to look for abnormalities and, if possible, then talk with you about some natural solutions.
