Are artificial methods of conceiving against the Roman catholic Church?

This is from the united state catholic conference of Bishops, citing why IVF and other reproductive technologies are contrary to church teaching, the sanctity of sex, and the culture of life. Specifically, IUI is illicit because it separates the unitive element of sex from the procreative element of sex. Your partner is not physically present and unified with you when sperm is injected into the uterus.

I'm assuming you are asking this question as you or someone you know is struggling to conceive. This is a very hard cross to bear and surrender. It's hard to rest in the fact that children are gifted to us and not owed to us as some of the dominant culture would suggest.

I would recommend checking in on diet, removing environmental toxins, and checking in on your hormonal levels with a reproductive endocrinologist. All of these are appropriate methods sanctioned by the church from at least the feminine side of reproductive health.

I know this may not be comforting or what you want to hear, but i am lifting you up in prayer. I have good friends who are struggling to conceive and deeply desire motherhood. Please continue to pray and discern with your spouse how you are continued to be called to motherhood or fatherhood, whether biological, adoptive, foster, or only in the spiritual sense. God will use your gift of femininity for his glory even if it's not the way you may want (believe me I struggle with God DAILY about all the ways i wish he would do things my way). May Mary wrap you in her mantle of love and protection ❤️

@Audrey thanks for citing Donum Vitae. The diocese of Lansing (in michigan) also has a really good breakdown
