Christine - I was just bragging on you in another thread. :)
LOL @ clean-up. I SO WISH someone had given me a heads up on 'clean up' before I got married. I had NO CLUE sex was so messy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Books, movies - no one ever mentioned the mess!  I got all freaked out until I realized that it was normal.
Now that J and I are HAVING SEX AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we get to decide if we are going to abstain, use condoms, or just 'do it' and see what God wants.
I must admit, though, that I have been lax on any type of journaling. I read when I am going to be fertile and when I am 'done' - then I go on my way. I 'knew' that my period was coming soon, but I wasn't sure when. Well, this morning my stomach was all icky and I couldn't figure out WHY. I was like, "dang, am I sick - is this my IBS - is it stress?!?!?!" Then i went to the bathroom and laughed. Here I was being "Mrs. Doctor" trying to overanalyze the simple fact that I got my period.

Yup, without too much TMI -
It's a natural 'gravity' thing. Whatever goes 'up' must come 'down'. So, the messiest is afterwards. It depends on 'who' with well, positions. 
It's easy to clean up - we usually have a small handtowel underneath or near. :) I just didn't know it was giogn to be messy so I thought something was 'wrong' or 'weird'.
Side note to all that... I'm told that women should make sure they go potty afterwards to prevent a urinary track infection. I guess that happened to my friend on her honeymoon. She gave me that piece of advice and thankfully I've never had one of those. I guess the spermies may go places they don't belong, but going to the bathroom clears that all up? I"m not sure, exactly.

oh and pregnancy stuff... I've been told that, if you want to get pregnant, it's good for the woman to stay laying down with a pillow underneath her knees for like a half hour after intercourse. It allows more to, well, stay up there. 
I'm in a mood today, aren't I? I guess it's cause I'm FINALLY GETTING SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!

Reminds me of a movie where a gal was trying to get pregnant... you see them getting started, and then in the next scene you see her doing a prolonged handstand to try to give gravity a helping hand. LOLOL!
I just wish my BF had a place like this where he could ask questions. I figure, if it's on your mind anyhow you may as well use that preoccupation to get yourself educated.

Question 1.
Do you do the cervical check? If you do, was it hard for you to actually go in and check? (I have major issues with touching myself)
Yes, until I kept saying... this is for a baby.. come on baby..
Question 2.
Oral, vaginal or rectal temp?
Oral totally.
Question 3.
do you really use TP to check for mucus after you pee? Seems kinda, ummmm, contaminatory.
Nope, I figured I really wouldn't be able to see which is was for sure.
Question 4.
How many 'symptoms' do you track?
All.
Question 5.
If you read The Art of NFP, did their use of the term "coitus" instead of "sex" get on your nerves? [/quote]
Nope, I haven't but I have seen it on TTC and Fertility forums and it drives me crazy there.
To prevent this going in my siggy but yet would like to share.. cause I only have two more days..

I did that too Tammy. I figured it wasn't the biggest deal in the world, since I'm doing this as a kinda trial run.
I do have a couple of questions though. When you're drawing the coverline, do you think it still has to be 0.2 degrees higher when you're tracking in Celcius? It took about three days for my temps to get above the coverline after my peak, which seems weird. And is it weird to have your post-peak temps pretty much the same as your pre-peak temps? My temps are only a little higher--some of them dip below the coverline. Maybe because I'm sick, I dunno.

Janine - UTI's are caused when sexual activity "pushes" germs into our urinary tract (usually by the thrusting). These are our OWN germs, not from our husbands. Urinating straight after sex flushes the germs out of the urinary tract.
Washing oneself prior would also lessen the chances of getting an UTI.

OK, ladies, I'm finally joining you - I'm jumping into this NFP thing!
Today I ordered the self-study kit from ccli.org (I sure hope it's worth $80!), and I downloaded a little shareware program from hormonalforecaster.com (thought it was a free program, but it turns out it's a 45 day free trial and $30 after that  ).
I'm jumping into this with both feet!
My question (and I didn't read all the posts in here yet, so it may have been answered) is this: how do you check your cervix position? (I suppose the CCLI stuff will tell me, but I'm starting in on this stuff before I get my kit).
What do you ladies use/do during your fertile period? Based on a 28 day cycle, it turns out I'll be ovulating 2 days after my (tentative) wedding!
