Most young couples feel under a lot of pressure to be on birth control.
Just a curiosity, but is it peer pressure?
Not just peers. Older adults. My wife was pregnant with our second child two months after our first was born. Our deacon’s wife made sure to tell my wife in no uncertain terms what she thought.
That's really sad. People like that need to "get a life". Turning an occasion of a blessing into what sounds like an attack.

Many conservative Anabaptists can’t make it through a month without ibuprofen. They’re very eager to pop pills.
:laugh

Hilarious. I might have said "w/o going to the chiropractor".

While many people might be fine with using IUDs for birth control, there's definitely a concern about the way it works, especially if fertilization occurs and the egg isn't able to implant. According to the info on this site, some legal cases have been filed due to health issues caused by contraceptive use, so it's important to consider the potential consequences.

I’m not super conservative but here’s how I see it: IUDs keep sperm and egg apart, so I don’t think that’s sinful. If it stopped a fertilized egg from implanting and caused its loss, then I’d feel it crossed a line.

This confirms my theories that AIs aren’t “super conservative”.

Not 100% true. God designed the woman's body that after a certain age she can no longer bear children. From what I understand sex for post menopausal women still continues.
Can confirm 8-)
