Pre-seed : one

I used one stick of pre-seed last night. When I squeezed out the contents, it wasn't cooling or anything. I didn't even know it's out. I touched the liquid a little. I don't know how to describe it. It doesn't feel like gel, serum, lotion, cream. Not close at all to all the skincare that I've used.

It's almost as close to body secretion. Amazing.

Anyway, Hubby doesn't know why I wanna use it. I don't know either. I just thought I might be ovulating because I had a tinch of red discharge the night before. And I read from the books that it's a symptom for ovulation.

I may be wrong since I don't even know when is my next period and unable to count my days.

I guess I just wanted to try.

NFP Lesson

We signed up for Natural Family Planning course with Church of Risen Christ :)

Yesterday evening, Hubby and I went for our first NFP lesson. Andy gave a brief introduction on NFP, the Billings Method, how to observe my mucus and how to chart the daily diagram. This is a totally new concept and we both never heard of this before.

At first it's quite weird and to a certain extent gross. But we are told that this is an intimate activity that bonds married couples and it's wonderful to have the husband involved in the charting.

The registration fee is $25 and it includes some materials and also a book to take home.

Our next appointment in mid January 2011. I've started on my charting. I'm not used to this but I will do it for the sake of our planning.

Started On Blackmores Conceive Well

I started on my first dosage of Blackmores Conceive Well on 23 November 2010. This is to prepare my body to absorb the right nutrients in preparation of conceiving. One box will last me for a month. I heard that it's recommended to take at least 2 boxes to better prepare the womb.



-------------------------

It's one week into Blackmores pills. Sometimes I feel like I've gastric pain, at times I feel rather bloated. I'm still continuing with the pills.

Hubby is also taking Centrum (if I feed him) and taking manuka honey with UMF+10 now.

Have not really settled in

I realised that I haven't really settle into my new home. My stuff are only 50% here (the other half still at my mom's place) and I don't have much space to store my things already. Hubby's cracking his head and at the same time reminding me not to buy any more clothes and skincare. This weekend, we are going to IKEA to look at some furnitures and fittings. We will also be trying out rock climbing for the first time.

There are lots of interesting and fun things coming our way. I should enjoy more of our couple time and being together now instead of getting tensed up over conceiving and lovemaking. I should learn to relax and take things easy.

Yesterday I had a long talk with Hubby. He said that he is also getting used to my presence (actually he means tolerating me) and the new lifestyle. There are many things to learn, to give and take.

New life awaits.

The Secret Life of The Unborn Child

Dear bought this book for me. He said that I have to read it and realise that what I experience emotionally affects the baby. It's really too early to buy the book as I'm not even pregnant yet.

But well, okay, I will read.
