A huge adjustment of using FAM, at least for me, was really relying on and believing in my body. Before using FAM, a lot of the signals my body sends me were ignored completely. I just wasn't aware of them. Cut to using FAM- the Fertility AWARENESS Method!
Unfortunately, although I'm now aware of those signals, I still try to come up with logical ways to explain them that make sense to me, rather than just trusting those signals.
Last night, I was super crabby toward Zeke. Like, really angry. For no reason. I just thought, "well, I'm really tired. I'm just cranky because I need more sleep!"
My basal body temperature today was low... 96.8. Yesterday I was at 97.1. Probably because I went to bed later than I should have.
Then I woke up this morning with a headache- another one of my signals. Hmm, must need caffeine.
And then, at 10:30, I got my period. In my office, completely without supplies.
My body was all like, "HELLO!?! What do you mean you're not prepared and have to run home? I totally warned you!"
But I didn't think about the signs. I was aware of them, I just didn't take them seriously and instead rationalized them subconsciously.
Conclusion: The human body (especially the female version, in my opinion) is a fantastic thing. It knows what it's doing, generally speaking. I've gotta be aware of the signals it sends, and think about what those might mean!
