Ok. This is TMI, but this is also my blog so if you don’t like it, if you’re using a PC the little red ‘x’ is at the upper right hand corner of the screen.

I took BCP for 4 years. I took 3 different kinds and I was either really nausiated, really mopey, or just down right mean. Six months after the hubs and I got married, I started a form of non-hormonal birth control called Natural Family Planning/Fertility Awareness Method. (You can read about it on fertilityfriend.com or pick up the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility).

That’s going great, it isn’t my problem. The problem is, however… I did the math in my head and I’m going to start my period sometime last week. If my post-luteal phase (the time frame between ovulation and menstruation. For a brief FAM lesson, each woman will generally have the same frame of time between ov and auntie flo, only varying by 24 hours or so. The factor that will make a woman go later than usual is her pre-ovulatory period, the time frame between the last day of auntie flo and the day she ovulates. I have had a 40 day cycle before, but all of my post-luteal phases have been 14 days. So, subtracting my post-ovulatory period and that cycle’s menstration, that means I had a pre-ovulatory period of 21 days. Pretty long, but not unheard of ) is the same length as it has been for the past 3 months, it will put me at starting on Wednesday… the day before we close on our house. That will mean that my heaviest day will be the actual day of closing.

• sigh* Stupid AF!

PS: I guess I should be happy to see her, considering what my other option would be since I ovulated this month
