too clueless to think of a title.

After looking online about determining when we would be due should we happen to conceive during this cycle, I told Mr.Moo. He was a little disappointed b/c he thought it would happen later (labor that is).

So to him it seemed it would interfere too much with my family reunion in Hawaii. So, he decided (not to tell me that night after we were in bed and I was ready to go at it) that he didn't want to get pregnant this month.

Perfect timing -- *sigh* -- I have been getting my hopes up just to start trying and they were shot down. I felt rejected. I do want to go to Hawaii, but it's not like we'll never be able to go if for some reason we couldn't fly while we were pregnant. The majority of my family is out there, so we would be having so many more opportunities to go during our lifetime. Alas, there was no winning to be had on either side of the conversation.

I went to bed disappointed, and so did he. But we seemed to agree that we would start trying again sometime in December. That's okay with me, we had originally planned to start TTC in Jan/Feb 2009 anyway.

This morning I woke up and apologized to Mr.Moo in case I had made him feel guilty or bad for changing his mind about TTCing this month. Then he started getting frisky. I went with it, just knowing that he would probably pull out or whatever so we didn't risk getting preg. Alas, -- he didn't. I was a little confused. I asked him why he did that and he said... "because we're trying."

He's messing with my head! AHHHH

I took my Basal Temp (96.66) - WOOO 1 whole hundreth of a degree higher than the last few days. Does this mean it's going up? I didn't ovulate today. I can tell. My CM (cervical mucus - friends of mine, sorry if TMI again) is not to the prime stage yet, but it's getting there. I also took an OPT (Ovulation Predictor Test) and it was neg. (4 for 4).

I have been reading TCOYF (Taking Charge of your Fertility) and I am most definately going to follow the FAM (Fertility Awareness Method) to get pregnant and to not get pregnant in the future.

It's amazing to read. Things I didn't even consider!! For example. Men are fertile everyday from puberty to death, whilst women are only fertile for a short few days. So why is it that Women have a long ass list of birth controls and men only have 3??

For Women: Tubal Ligation, Implanon, Depo-Provera, The Pill, The Patch, IUD (intrauterine device), Nuvaring, Diaphragm, Cervical Cap, Sponge, Female Condom, Suppositories, Spermicides, Natural Methods

For Men: Vasectomy, Condom, Withdrawal

If you think about it, there are so many side effects to the Pill alone that women may experience, and I really don't see the need if you can really break down your fertile phase to a few days -- just abstain! Or have the 'man' use a condom or something. I don't think I will ever go back to using any of the chemical birthcontrol methods ever again.

I honestly thought that women could get pregnant at any time, I never thought it was only a few days. Really. No egg, no possibility of getting pregnant. DUH!

This book is truly eye-opening and easy to read as the writer has an awesome sense of humor. :-)


P.S.: I think Mr.Moo messing with my head has really had an effect on me today because:
- I spilled a Full glass of orange juice on the carpet today - it was pretty horrific.
- I spilled a Full glass of water on the carpet today while trying to clean up the orange juice mess
- I spilled a bottle of Coke while trying to pour myself a glass
- I spilled an entire box of Wheat Thins on the floor

I don't know what's happening, but I don't like it. I've already been told I'm not allowed to eat or drink in any carpeted areas... waaaaaahhhh.
