Content creator Judy Nyawira-Mutua opened up about her and her husband Abel Mutua’s decision to forgo conventional family planning methods. The couple has been married for seven years and together for 15, during which time they have navigated different approaches to family planning.
Judy explained that after struggling with side effects from hormonal contraceptives like the Jadelle implant, which caused prolonged bleeding, she shifted to the IUD, only to find it equally uncomfortable. Eventually, they adopted the withdrawal method, which they’ve relied on for several years. Although not considered a formal family planning method by doctors, Judy noted that the approach has worked for them.
Abel shared his reasons for supporting the decision, stating that he wants to focus on providing fully for their one child, ensuring a stable and pressure-free environment.
Reflecting on their long relationship, Judy acknowledged that while their marriage appears happy, maintaining a bond for 15 years has been challenging.

Judy and Abel’s experience with natural family planning is a testament to their adaptability as a couple. By prioritizing friendship and communication, they continue to navigate their life together while maintaining an authentic connection.
