Getting Pregnant the Scientific Way
I don't like to start any project unless I know what I'm doing. Trying to make a baby was no exception.
Getting pregnant with Arianna was easy. She was a surprise. A happy accident that resulted from passion. Sure, trying to make a baby the passionate way was an option. But really. Who has time for that? I was already a year behind, I couldn't waste any more time.
So I bought a few books on the topic and got reading. Then I bought 20 pregnancy tests. And then 100 ovulation test strips. And a basal thermometer. Then obviously an app to track it all.
Marc thought I was crazy. And I'm sure horribly unromantic. But it's not like I brought the pee sticks into bed or anything.
It took me a few weeks to get the hang of the whole thing. I knew the first month was just practice as I figured my way through the process. I also knew that I misread the ovulation tests and got my "peak" day incorrect. But no matter how logical I was, getting my period that month still really sucked.
The next month, however, I did everything right. And had three positive pregnancy tests to prove it.
