NaPro Technology for infertility

hi all,
i have a question...today my husband and i went to church and he happened to pick up a pamflet...it basically states my practicing religion is against all invitro fertilization and all the meds to go along with it. in a nut shell they recommend NaPro technology? so has anyone ever heard of this type of treatment? Is it saying you should have surgical procedures opposed to using fertility drugs to fix the problem?
I am so sorry if I have offended anyone asking this question since its connected to religion...but I have been seeing a RE for months and have been on treatments for myself in the hopes if getting pregnant...and after today and reading this info i feel sick to my stomache!  i personally would not change a thing and still plan to move further... but i guess i never thought about it...from a religious sense...i guess ive been ignorant...but i feel so judged...and now thats making me so upset.
again sorry if i have offended anyone!

Tricia,

I went to NaProtechnology.com and got information about this approach.  I am a devoted Catholic and we believe in natural procreation--which also means no in vitro.  I don't believe the NaPro approach is against medications, just unnatural means of achieving pregnancy--any other means than intercourse.  I don't know what religion you are, I can only tell you what I know about the Catholic church.  Go to the website and hopefully you can get the information you are looking for.  I know it is very hard when you feel that you are going against religious conviction but it is something that you want so badly.  I hope you find peace.

hi nina,
thanks for your response...i went and looked at the website......i am catholoc as well...i know this isnt a religious forum so i wont get into it...but the literature my husband took home just seemed like they meant any help with fertility medications are a grave sin (exact words). they even mentioned clomid along with the stronger drugs. i guess i am sitting here trying to rationalize what i am doing but the reality is the church is against premarital sex, living together, divorce and so on...i too considered myself a devoted catholc but....i guess i cant follow all the rules...i will need to find inner peace and move on...sorry to ramble on..thanks for listening! i just a month of injections and had my IUI the otherday and need to stay positive.

Tricia,

I spoke to my priest before I used Prometrium or anything like Clomid (which I haven't used yet).  He told me to go ahead with both that he didn't see anything against the Church.  I am going to try letrozole next month and I feel okay with that.  My RE said that priests he know have suggested IUI with semen collected through intercourse with a pinhole condom so as not to stop procreation the natural way.  Before I do this, I am going to speak to my priest as well.  
Just say some prayers and hopefully you will get your answer. Good luck and peace.
