Today is a guest post by none other than my husband the scientist!
My wife told me it’s NFP awareness week. Oddly enough, I thought every week was NFP awareness week – at least until we got pregnant. We were lying around the house and joking about some of the things that we’ve done as NFPers and I decided to put together a list of “10 ways to tell that you are an NFPer.” If you practice NFP, you’ve probably done a few of these.
10. The answer to the question “How many children do you want to have?” increases every time someone asks.
9. You’ve told someone the exact day that you ovulated.
8. You know when NFP awareness week is. (Hint: July 25 – 31, this year).
7. You go to the doctor and she asks you what kind of birth control you’re on and you say, “None.” Then she asks “So you’re trying to get pregnant?” And you casually respond, “No.”
6. You’ve gone to a Creighton Model class for fun, even though you’ve been practicing NFP for almost a year.
5. You’ve asked your friend to look at your chart.
4. You can differentiate between sticky, tacky, cloudy, and heavy mucus.
3. You haven’t had sex in 8 days, but who’s counting?
2. You’re not trying, but you’re not not-trying. ;)
1. You refer to it as “I” and at the end of the month you tally up all the “I”s and compare it to national averages.
Happy Natural Family Planning Awareness Week!
