Thanks Pegasus =) I think I should just get up the courage to really talk to him about it all. I think I was just hoping we could dance around it and talk about it, but not directly. That has ended up with me being anxious - I don't want to push anything, but he's not getting any younger (lol).

I guess I'm just not sure how to have the conversation - my anxiety about it really blocks what I would try to say. I'm a much better writer about this stuff, but BF prefers verbally communicating. I wonder if I could write a note to him about it and then he can respond verbally. I get all flustered about this topic.

Do you think it's fair to ask him: to tell me whether he's okay with avoiding ovulation week and taking the risk of pregnancy otherwise, or analysis? I think he gets flustered talking about it, too, but I feel sorta alone in trying to figure out what he thinks. I guess I'm afraid that if I ask so directly, he'll get spooked. I don't want to push - he's definitely Mr. Right for me....and I definitely think he's the happiest he's ever been. I am.

We talk about kids much more frequently now - in a roundabout way...in a "if that were my kid, I'd do such and such"....and he will say things that he wouldn't have said before, like, "Oh, such and such was saying how good with kids you are".
