Today marks the day I would have started a new pack of pills. Therefore, it also marks the beginning of contraceptive uncertainty! I'm pretty sure I've started to see the beginnings of some cervical fluid changes (from dry to creamy) and so we're now obligated to consider ourselves potentially fertile (and to be safe, abstinent) until a temperature shift and a return to an infertile fluid pattern confirms that ovulation is over.
So far, we're only about a week into practicing FAM, but we do feel like it's already brought us closer. Talking about what kinds of intimacy are or aren't a possibility forces us to really be on the same page about it, and there's a real camaraderie to waking up at 5am together to take my temperature. And, it's hard not to feel close to somebody when you're ducking into the bathroom so he can check your cervix...
