A mother of 3, Gemma Potter, has gotten pregnant 7 different times in five years despite using the pill, condoms, the coil, progestogen injections, and an implant. She is currently expecting her fourth child (she's had 3 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy). Doctors have been unable to pinpoint the cause of her extreme fertility.
Here at EFP, we found this article very interesting and couldn't help but ask ourselves if using natural contraception instead of the hormonal options she used, would have ended up in 7 unwanted pregnancies. Although her case may be rare and her cycles irregular, perhaps practicing fertility awareness could have prevented the pregnancies if she abstained from intercourse on her fertile days. What do you think?
