I was thinking about how you were trying to think of a way to talk to your H about charting without freaking him out since you said he's a little weirded out by body stuff.  What if you told him that you have discontinued taking hormonal birth control because of the side effects, and that you are now charting your fertility signs (if he asks for more details you can offer)?  Then tell him that basically, charting your fertility signs will allow you to know when you are, and are not fertile  which allows you to avoid pregnancy.  If it makes him nervous tell him he can wear a condom lol. 

FWIW - I was nervous that H wouldn't like the idea since he hasnt had to use a condom or abstain from sex since very early in our relationship.  When I brought it up and told him what I was thinking, he was very willing to make some adjustments so I could regain my sex drive.  And now, he gets VERY excited when he doesnt have to wear one lol.

  • That is sort of the overview I gave him - in about 20 seconds.  I feel like he deserves to know a liiiiittle bit more, but he hasn't asked, so I haven't mentioned it.  I think once he realizes how much better I feel off BCP, he won't mind... it's just that he's been out of town so much that it's hard to show him that I feel better all the time, it's not just that I miss him, if that makes sense.
