Fertility Awareness Method & Calendar Charting

The fertility awareness method (FAM) is a form of natural family planning that uses a combination of several separate methods - usually calendar charting, basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus, and cervical observation - to predict when a woman will ovulate.

    Age: 26

    How Long using FAM: This is my first month. Just got started mid-Oct

    TTC or TTA and for how long: Right now I am TTA for medical reasons but hopefully in 5 months we will be able to TTC again!!

    Link to your chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1af451  

    Tell us more about your family: I have been married for almost 6 years and we have a fabulous 4 year old daughter.

    Anything else: In August we had a m/c and found that it was a partial molar pregnancy, I decided while I was in the wait to TTC again, I would try to get the hang of charting so when we are released to try again I will *hopefully* be able to conceive right away!

    Name: Terra Age:29 How Long using FAM:6 months TTC or TTA and for how long:6 months Link to your chart: I will update later. Tell us more about your family: I have been through infertility for 5 years. Then I discovered a miracle hormone cream that gave me my 2 precious miracles. I defied the docs who said I would not get PG. So now I am trying for #3 and with FAM and my progesterone cream I am ready to make my third sweet pea. Anything else: I formerly was a women's fitness instructor/life style, nutrition coach and helped countless women get healthy and lose weight and some get PG. That is when I came across this cream called Progesterone cream. Fertility docs use it when women are going through IVF to help you get PG and stay PG. The cream makes your luteal phase longer (I had a really short one) and it delays your cycle so the egg can attach and thrive. Without this cream I lose all my PG's. This cream is sold over the counter at healthfood stores and cost $32 for 2 months. I used it with both PG's with wonderful results. If anyone has any Questions abut it feel free to email me.
