If you're supposed to just wrap it up for two weeks when you're trying to avoid, you should be fine leaving it unwrapped all the time when you're trying to conceive! Voila!
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Cali, it's really not that bad, and it's much easier when you're TTC than TTA. You should try it. It can't hurt.

So far we seem to be real bad at this game. I don't know if we're doin' it right.
My reluctance to chart et al is two-fold:
-I'm too lazy to learn all that stuff and do it on a daily basis
-I'm afraid going down the charting rabbit hole will make me go crazy like the people on the Bump. This is my #1 fear.

I've been half-assed charting for the past 2 months (mainly temping). I can let you know in approximately 4 days if it worked or not.
I agree with you on fearing the crazies on the Bump (and the GP board here). I just look at it as being more in tune with my body and knowing what's going on. After 7+ years of BCP, I don't remember what a "regular" cycle is like anymore.
I can understand that. FWIW, I charted for 6 months prior to getting in the family way with Maggie. I never checked my cervix. I only temped, and even then I wasn't always great at it. But it did help me understand my body's signs of ovulation a lot better even without fingering myself on the daily.
I think this is the key.
Plus, I think there are enough ladies here that have charted and not going crazy to reassure you that bump people would most likely have gone insane whether they were charting or not.

Maybe it would help if you put an ovulation calendar in your signature?
I kid, I kid.
But don't go posting about it on the Getting Pregnant board because they will tear you a new one.
I love reading all the posts in here. You guys are hilarious.
^ this!
I guess I do have a vent...why does my roommate always manage to get out of dish duty?
I hate dishes...but in the 3 months we've lived here she has literally not done them at all.
Start hiding her dirty dishes under her bed. When she finds them, tell her she must have displeased the Dish Fairy.
YWIA.
Lol...that is awesome. I can't fit them under her bed but I'm not opposed to hiding them in her closet. I love her to death but it's seriously irritating.
Doo eet.
And if that doesn't work, start hiding tuna under her mattress.
Passive aggressive.. what what?
Where were you when I needed ideas for April Fools?!
She's a bit of a gamer so I'm considering hiding the power cord to the Xbox on her days off. That way she has nothing to do but wash! Mwahahahahaha!!!!!
Ha.. Buy a broken XBox for a couple bucks, replace it with her fully functioning XBox. Tell her the Dish Fairies must be displeased.
