my period started today. either that or i am bleeding for some unknown reason. it’s a relief, but i’m still going to my obgyn tomorrow to talk about the problems i’ve had since it’s unusual for me to miss a couple of months. i already have the appointment, so i might as well keep it.

since i started today, i was able to start wearing the ov watch.

it says “nf” when you’re not fertile and measures the chloride in your skin to list your four fertile days. it’s pretty neat. i can’t wait to see when i actually ovulate.

joe thinks it’s cool too but for different reasons. “it should say what food your craving. it could say ‘ice cream’ or ‘ally mcbeal’ because that’s what girls watch when they’re on their periods. or it could have a frowny face and say ‘cranky’ or ‘bitchy.'”
