My name is André. I'm 29 years old, from Atlanta by way of New York. I'm married.
I have a lovely wife named Vicki who is actually from Jamaica.
You know, now is not really the greatest time to have kids, because we just want to be a
little bit more stable. Fertility awareness tracking is basically the female keeping track
of the best times it is for her to get pregnant versus the - the times that she most likely
would not become pregnant. The best time to not get pregnant is right after she's finished
her cycle. So I guess she would say that she's in the clear at that point. So about - maybe
about two and a half weeks after, there starts to be a period of about seven or ten days
where conception is most likely for that time of the month the highest. So we'd either
probably stay away, you know, for that time. That's not actually hard, having a busy schedule.
And after, you know, we know that, you know, we're in better shape
you know, that won't be a problem afterwards.
She'll say, you know, this is like danger zone time, you know, kind of thing.
So I know that for the next week, you know, seven to ten days or so that, you know,
we don't want any problems. You know, this is the best time where we don't really do
anything much. So I just rely on her really just to keep track of - to keep track of how she's doing.
And you know, just for her to let me know along the way. Or sometimes I may even
ask, you know, "How are you doing?" You know, and she, you know, she knows what I mean by that.
And you know, it's a good system that, you know, we communicate and she keeps track of
it so it keeps us in sync and knowing the whole time, you know, when to do what.
Fertility tracking is free. You know, it doesn't cost a thing. It's spontaneous almost, because
on those times where you're not necessarily the - the low fertility times, you can pretty
much be as spontaneous as you want. You know, the drawback to it is that, you know, the
times where the high fertility, you know, comes into play, it's not as spontaneous.
You have to be more careful. You may just choose to abstain for that period of time all together.
I think it's more for - for an older person who's a little bit more mature and has a
little bit more experience with her body and knows, you know, when this is supposed to
happen, when that is supposed to happen.
My name is André. I'm 29 years old, and my wife and I use the fertility tracking method.
