Using FAM to conceive

by IzzyComment Published at 07:2407:243 comments3 comments161 Visits161 VisitsReport

OK, I've been off the pill for 2 cycles and have been taking prenatal vitamin. I am starting a new cycle this week and have started charting my basal body temperature and monitoring cervical fluid consistency. I am using the Fertility Awareness Method, as is described in Toni Weschler's book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility. The book is featured in this website http://www.ovusoft.com/. The 3rd option for monitoring fertility is the position and "ripeness" of the cervix, but I find that too difficult for me.

This is the chart I am using http://www.tcoyf.com/library/pdf/preg_fahr.pdf.

For those of you who are interested in this method and have any questions, ask away and I'll try and answer as best I can.

I am scared and excited about trying for baby#2. My 19 month old son is very active and is a handful. But I am excited as well. I am also a bit apprehensive about miscarriage. I've heard a lot of women having no problems conceiving their first and then get faced with miscarriage trying for #2. I am 30 years old.

I'm using the FAM method too.  Well, I'm not actually TTC yet, but I have started charting in the past month and plan to do it for the next three or four months until we can start trying (have to finish grad school before we add another munchkin).  I use the charting features on www.fertilityfriendonline.com with just the basic membership.

Good luck to you. I charted for 5 months before I went for it with my son. I was on pills for 10 years so I wanted to have ample time to have my body back to normal and also to get to "know" my body.

At the moment my temperature is all over the place. It's hard to take it at the same time every morning because my son wakes up whenever he wants to.
