There’s so much about our body and it’s cycles that we aren’t taught and should be. There’s a really good book out called ‘Taking Charge of your Fertility,’ that I think young women should be encouraged to read. You’re only fertile about 4 days of your cycle.

Yes. This is what is called NFP in Catholic circles. This doesn't mean it is easy, either. My husband and I certainly had our moments of frustration because when a woman is fertile, the biological drive is pretty overpowering.

Yes but it’s more than that. As a woman who has struggled with fertility issues I wish I had been taught this earlier in life

Agreed, I had no idea until I read that book.
