There's always the chance of that "irregular cycle"
To: klossg
And I agree with you that it still doesn't make knowing when a woman is fertile ... comparable to open heart surgery or landing on the moon or flying a jet at 8 times the speed of sound. You're right about that. My own experience is that when I feel the urge, as it were, it's extremely probable that another baby will be on the way :-). "Would you like to go watch a movie, or would you like to have a baby in 9 months?"
Observing fertility can be fairly complex, especially when one is breastfeeding. I have two children for whom we couldn't identify a probable date of conception on my charts. Not that that's bad - vis. my earlier post regarding "can't be surprised"!

If she is having sex with Bubba, then you might consider worrying about more basic issues than purchasing a palm pilot. But, that's just me. Good luck with Bubba!

Exactly. A little knowledge adds even to the number of jokes you can laugh at. I do dig all the inside NFP jokes. Shows how un-uptight we all are about sex!

My wife says the same thing, however, when I leave my cell phone rings and I get yelled at for leaving.

Thanks...in the beginning, though, I miscalculated my date of ovulation, which caused me to get pregnant. Then, unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. We went from being shocked and surprised, to excited and in love with the baby, to being shocked and surprised, and lastly very very sad. As soon as things even out with my body, I'll start using it again. I just pray that we are blessed again. (we went from never wanting kids to really wanting them!)

keep track of the INFO you perv! warn't no fancy computer programs back then ; ) Oh, and here I was thinking you were one of those really good wives.

I hear you! I'll say a prayer that you get what you want.
We know a couple who used NFP from the start. Their Honeymoon just happened to coincide with their fertile week! Lucky???? They were bummed to say the least and were planning to do everything else on their honeymoon but the act that makes a honeymoon not just another vacation.
But, during the honeymoon, in their newly married energy, they decided to throw caution to the wind. They knew that they might end up with a baby. 9 months later they had a baby boy!!!
They loved that little boy so much that they right away tried to conceive again. Twenty two years later they have not been able to conceive. There are fertility issues. They have really thanked God for throwing caution to the wind on their honeymoon.
Mice and men. And all our plans. It is funny sometimes what happens, isn't it?

So true! I'm praying that I'm able to get pregnant again - just because it was so "easy" the first time, I'm worried it will be hard because we'll actually be trying again.

You'll be fine. It is hard to mess with the great gear God gives us. He wants us to continue on so much he makes it one of the most enjoyable things in life. Please let me know when you get pregnant and have the baby. My wife and I will keep you in our prayers throughout the pregnancy.
Good luck and Godspeed!
