I had LAM until 10 months and then two cycles with
shortened LP's... so essentially a year of LAM.
I was not ready to conceive at 10 months pp, indeed
the thought sent me into the fetal position for well
over a year beyond THAT, so we used NFP at that time
to postpone. However, I did think about the moral
implications at the time... would it be selfish or
cruel to bring a baby into the world only to have it
not be able to implant?
I can't speak to church teaching on that, but I can
say that I thought about the following:
1) at that point in development, the baby by any
estimation would not have brain activity or pain
receptors. (not in any way do I say this diminishes
it's inherent personhood or right to life) So I felt
that, like most early miscarriages, we didn't have to
worry about the child suffering at all and so that
wouldn't be a reason to postpone.
Second, I felt that since all those guidelines about
how long a LP needs to be to conceive are flexible, I
mean, we all know ppl that according to NFP shouldnt'
have conceived or whatever, and yet they did... then I
could trust God to work that out, and if that baby was
meant to be, it would be.
