I love “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” too. Anthony was conceived using it, although I think I am fairly fertile regardless. It is nice to be able to choose when though. I don’t really chart anymore, but I think it gives enough info to go on without charting for birth control reasons (although I guess we could end up with a surprise).

And Sorcha is a good name! Although I have become a bit used to Sorchaa =)

See and I can’t sprint to save my life lol. My best time is about twice as slow as most people seem to do it.

We were charting when I conceived, but I also was trying lunaception. If you haven’t read “Taking Charge of your Fertility” by Tony Weschler, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Even if you don’t start charting, it will really help you understand your cycles and body. I thought I knew how it all worked until I read that book! Lunaception is basically sleeping in a completely dark room except for 4-5 days each cycle you would have a night light on. Most people say to start the night light around day 12 or 13 of your cycle, but since mine were so random and long (and my body would “try” to ovulate a few times each cycle), I tended to wait until the first time I was getting fertile signs. I went from having 60+ day cycles to 30-35 day cycles and ended up getting pregnant pretty quickly once it started working.

Sounds like a good program. I’m always impressed by runners, I used to sprint (and was fairly good at it) but never had the endurance to be a runner. But I’ve always found it easily to get in shape when you have an eager pet urging you to keep it up. And the heel thing will work out. As she learns to trust you, she’ll keep an eye on where you are and keep up.
If you don’t mind me asking (but if it’s too personal I understand), how did you conceive? We’ve been trying but my cycles are so random it’s hard to figure out whats going on. And the longing is starting to kill me.
Oh, I think I fixed the comments on my blog, please let me know if it doesn’t work and I keep trying. I like to read the comments.
