Marquette Method
I am 3.5 months pp and hoping for some good resources to help my husband and I get smart on the Marquette method. We would prefer to learn as much as we can on our own before considering a coach. I am breastfeeding but my cycle returned a 2mo pp and appears to be regular so far.
I was able to get the Clearblue kit and strips on a prime day deal so, if you’re considering it, now might be the time.
Hi, I have been successfully doing NFP with the Clearblue monitor for over 1 year. Here are some tips. 1. You might get high readings for weeks. This is your body trying to ovulate but struggling because you're nursing. Unfortunately this results in a lot of abstinence. We were doing complete abstinence on and off, for 2 months at a time, in the early days. 2. We are extremely careful. I don't ovulate until day 21 but we have always abstained from day 9 just in case I happened to ovulate on day 14 (which is the norm for most women). We also abstain 4 days post ovulation rather than 3. Just to clarify in case you didn't know, the bare minimum for a normal cycle is abstaining 5 days before ovulation and 3 days post.
