    Definitely would need to be temping. I counted days and am now 12 weeks along with twins. So be sure that you are really ready to deal with any potential oopsies.

    I have been doing it for about 5 mo. Definitely need to be temping. My cycles are kind of regular (like ovulate within a 4 day window) so I pretty much make my husband pull out if I have had any CM at all. So for me that's about 12 days out of the month (I usually have CM for 9 days or so before ovulation and then the 3 days or so it takes to confirm ovulation). Of course you could abstain or use condoms during that time but I am fine with withdrawal.

    Look for taking charge of your fertility.

    It has worked so far. I would say if you have really irregular or long cycles with lots of CM it would be much more difficult.
