Ev...I totally get what you're saying and agree! Even just for the sake of understanding my body better, NFP is awesome. Mainly I haven't begun because I haven't felt the need and since I was likely falsely diagnosed with PCOS, learning to chart isn't on the forefront of my mind. But you're right in that charting-for-cycle-awareness is different from charting-for-fertility-awareness. <br /><br />I'll start eventually, just not today :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719692330224360203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195630692887727711.post-45020877693605223032013-09-24T20:34:00.315-05:002013-09-24T20:34:00.315-05:00yeah, and I have a feeling that my future husband ...yeah, and I have a feeling that my future husband would be like "really? you thought I'd feel left out of knowing what your mucus is like? mmm no." ...but I think it's the whole new-to-both-of-us experience that I would like to be able to share. That way we're in it from the start and there'd never be the thought "well this is something you do and I'm just along for the ride"...though hopefully I'd never marry a dope who'd think that, but still. :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719692330224360203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195630692887727711.post-11899479580708384692013-09-24T20:31:21.975-05:002013-09-24T20:31:21.975-05:00It's just something that occurred to me a coup...It's just something that occurred to me a couple of weeks ago, and that in and of itself isn't holding me back from starting....it's mostly that I don't have the time to do it right at the moment. I like to do things 110% or not at all. And NFP is definitely something that I don't want to half-a$$ ;) Someday, someday....just cause I think it's so darn cool!<br /><br />Plus, I'm not having any health issues anymore so I don't have that reason to begin...but it's so interesting how much you can know/learn!!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719692330224360203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195630692887727711.post-79406818898625099772013-09-24T12:41:47.222-05:002013-09-24T12:41:47.222-05:00I think there's a real difference between full...I think there's a real difference between full out charting and knowing your body's signs and symptoms. If you are able to understand which kind of mucus is what and know the basic eb and flow of your body, then I think it would be beneficial. I mean those aren't even things he'll be able to 'check for you' - and it's good anyway for when you go to the doctor and she asks 'is anything different?' - you'll actually know that the pain your having on your left side happens each month at the time when you are ovulating (this was an issue for me with an ovarian cyst). Better to understand your body and know when the 'time of the month' is, but wait for all of the charting, temperature taking, etc... until there's a reason to know (unless a health reason has mandated it). Anyway, just some thoughts!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994243859430959082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195630692887727711.post-39850361009841927402013-09-24T12:41:02.085-05:002013-09-24T12:41:02.085-05:00I've never considered my future husband might ...I've never considered my future husband might feel left out however I also have the personality that would go home to "practice" the experiment we would learn the next day in class. This is something to really think about though.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13487096492579184667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195630692887727711.post-49707134869932810422013-09-24T06:53:00.796-05:002013-09-24T06:53:00.796-05:00Ooh...great post, Morgan!

But if the forums and message boards that I stumble upon are any indication, NFP use as a singleton for health reasons and using NFP together as a couple are markedly different, and the latter experience will pose enough new stuff for both you and your man. So my feeling is, if it helps you to know how to do it well now, don't stress too much about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
