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. |
