started my period yesterday. tried not
to be disappointed or stressed about
it seeing as how G. and I have just
started trying to conceive.

the plan: for the first few months just
estimate ovulation based on a calendar
and counting 14 days from the first
day of my last period to get a timeframe,
give or take 2-3 days either way. Okay,
so it isn't a science, but right now, we
want to be relaxed about it - have fun.

if that doesn't work, Plan B is to start
taking my Basal temperature (upon
waking each morning) and charting
out ovulation which happens the day
or two BEFORE there is a temperature
rise. so it will take a few months to
see a pattern.

if that doesn't work, Plan C is to buy
an ovulation lens which analyzes
your saliva to predict ovulation.

Plan D is to buy ovulation kits and
try to estimate that way.

and if by end of 2003, no conception,
to the doctor I will go.
