👩🏾🤝👨🏽⛪🚸📈🌡
- Tell us a little about yourself.I'm married with one toddler boy! Education is in Elementary and Special Education. I'm part-time working from home and have my own photography business.
- What effects has fertility awareness had on your relationship?It has been a test, especially postpartum. But I will say that MM has been a game changer in the objectivity and gives us great confidence. I always recommend it.
- Current Method: Marquette - How did you find your instructor?I found her online. She was listed in a Facebook group! I can’t remember the cost - maybe $100ish? I paid a one time fee and follow ups have been free.
- Describe your daily charting routine.I just test on days required with my monitor. I chart my monitor result and my CM. It’s annoying at times when we travel, but it’s the easiest method for me by far.
- What made you choose this method?It's objective, easy, effective! The ongoing cost is the most annoying, but the simplicity and objectiveness way outweighs that.
- Has charting helped you to understand your overall health?Yes, if I am moody before my period starts but that’s about it.
- Did you switch to this method from another one? If so, why?I switched from STM because its easier and objective and with a baby the "sleep so many hours" to get my BBT wasn’t happening. I do know Tempdrop is a thing, but just using Marquette monitor only is enough for me.
- Previous Method: Couple to Couple League - How did you find your instructor?I self taught with the book TCOYF.
- Describe your daily charting routine.I charted for months before getting married to get the hang of it and used STM for maybe a year or so after getting married. Charted my CM and BBT.
- What made you choose this method?STM/CCL was most widely known and the book TCOYF was like the “bible” for STM. I liked the data behind it!
- Has charting helped you to understand your overall health?Yes. It let me know my cycles were normal.
- Did you stop using this method? If so, why?Didn’t work for my lifestyle.
