Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Awesome book. And the website is www.ovusoft.com , ton of great info! I charted for "birth control" for a few months before we decided to get pregnant again. I then used charting temperatures & cervical fluids so we knew exactly what days I was fertile. I'm planning on starting charting again soon, as birth control again, still haven't gotten af back, ds is 11mos. old now.

Well i read some obscure book; "no risk birth control" maybe; it gave me more knowledge of my body than i ever knew before. did the charts, temperatures etc for a while, worked great for us; concieved dd exactly when we wanted to, knew the day she was made, the end of my ovulation(i heard thats a good time to try for a girl!)
shes 3 now and my cycle is pretty regular, 27 days. i dont keep track anymore, i watch the signs of my body, etc, and we get to have free sex for the last week before my period, circled on the calendar! we dont plan on more kids but dh is still queasy about having the big V.... i dont take any chances while i'm ovulating, or right after my period. we use condoms and caution!
i am not sure how reliable our free week is, i know it is possible to ovulate twice in a cycle, but this way has worked for us so far!!(knock wood) and i cant imagine using something else at this point. i like not being altered, i dont mind being careful 3/4 of the time.... but dh better get snipped eventually!

Thanks for the information, Peacepie. I will look for that one too.

If you can find someone that teaches classes I recommend it!! We took NFP classes on the Creighton Model and I though it was great. Uh, I don't recommend using a condom during a fertile day though...oops!
