I know this post is a little out of place, but you ladies were such a help before our wedding last year, that I thought you might have some good advice this year. Sadly, there is not a Catholic board on The Bump or The Nest, so for those of us actively using NFP...
My husband and I were blessed with a baby girl 6 weeks ago now. I will need to start applying NFP, but I cannot really figure out how to do this in a postpartum world.
Personal info: My cervix is positioned very high and is difficult for someone else (like my doctor) to reach and is impossible for me to do so, so I cannot check that. I could gauge vaginal discharge as a CM indicator, but that is also somewhat unreliable for me. Also post partum, we have lots of other discharge going on. Temperature taking worked for me before, but now with a newborn that gets up to feed in the night and wee hours of the morning, I cannot do a regular temperature at the same time every the morning after having been asleep for a while (I wish!)
I am exclusively breast feeding, which helps, but I know I need to do some other form of checking... should I just do a half-a** job of CM and temps and hope that suplements sufficiently with breastfeeding? I have been unable to find a clear answer. The vague answer I have found is that it seems most postpartum NFP users rely on cervical positioning or CM, neither of which work for my body.
