Last week I was talking to a friend about her efforts to get pregnant. When she mentioned that she might start taking her basal body temperature, I strongly urged her to sign up for a Fertility Friend account. After all, I myself had gotten pregnant with the help of Fertility Friend (and got to know my body much better in the process).

Fertility Friend popped into my head again last night as I was battling insomnia. I hadn’t logged on since my first trimester of pregnancy with Claire — and I have no reason to log in at the moment as trying to get pregnant is the last thing on my mind — but I felt a strong urge to go look at my last chart.

And wouldn’t you know it? Exactly one year ago today, my body released the egg that would eventually become Claire.

I know this is a bit TMI to some of my readers and I apologize for that. But it really is amazing how this —

would become this —

in just 365 days!
