"Let nature take its course"? You know, you've somehow put your finger on the exact problem.
Fertility is a sign of health in every species. With wisdom and appreciation, you can cooperate with its delicately-balanced, elegant structure, either to achieve or to avoid pregnancy. Or you can throw a monkey-wrench into the structure.
The purpose of contraception is to be that monkey-wrench.
It treats our bodies' beautiful design, inside and out, as a glitch, not a feature.
It treats women's generative power as an abnormality to be doctored, altered, and "fixed."

My wife and I thought we were done at 7 kids. I can't remember why we thought that, maybe it was our age or maybe I thought I'd really figured out rhythm. When she conceived our 8th child she was depressed for 2 months because she thought she was done.
Well we just celebrated the graduation of our 8th child. He is an absolutely amazing young man and in certain ways he is the most special of all 8. Isn't it funny how the Lord works. Hmmmm, I wonder why we quit having kids after #8.....
