INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you live on your own, you will have a lot of bills. That is simply unavoidable. Before you move, you'll want to research the cost of many things, including rent, utilities, food, and transportation. Make a list of all of the things you use in your daily life (water, heat, internet) and then figure out how much those things cost per month in your city. You'll want to get a reasonable budget down on paper. In addition to calculating how much you'll spend on essentials (rent, heat, etc.) make sure to put the non-essentials into your budget, too. For example, figure out how much you spend on entertainment each month. Love to go to the movies? Factor that in.  Make sure you know how much money you actually make. If your income varies from month to month, use a lower number when creating your budget. You don't want to get caught short.  You'll also want to factor in transportation costs to get around your new neighborhood. Try to figure out how much you will spend on gas and public transportation. Make sure to build in some "fun money" to your budget each month. There should be a little flexible spending. Everyone needs to splurge on pizza after a bad day at work once in a while. Don't be afraid to adjust your budget as you go along. Prices will fluctuate, and so will your income and priorities. Your credit is an important part of your financial independence. Before you live on your own, make sure that you not only have established credit, but that your credit score is good. To establish credit, you might want to consider getting a credit card. Research different types, and pick one that is best for you. You'll want to make sure to pay your bill on time each and every month.  You can ask your parents to put your name on one of the household bills. For example, if your name is on the cable account, that can help to establish your credit. What will you do if your car breaks down? What will happen if your boss cuts your hours at work? Unfortunately, these things happen. That is why it is important to have some emergency funds set aside. When you are first setting out on your own, your goal should be to have at least $500-$800 set aside in case of emergency. Before you make your big move, take a month or two to practice your new found financial responsibilities. Set up your budget and stick to it. You can even go so far as to pay rent to your parents, in preparation for paying a landlord. It's unlikely your parents will resist!

SUMMARY: Learn about cost of living. Determine your budget. Establish your credit. Build a financial cushion. Do a trial run.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: .  If you are trying to figure out exactly when you start ovulating so you can become pregnant, taking your temperature daily can help since some women have a slightly higher temperature when they ovulate — about 0.2 to 1°F higher.  Using a basal thermometer, take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed.  Plot your temperature on a calendar for a month or two and look for a pattern.  You are most fertile two to three days before ovulation begins, so count the days between the first day of your last cycle and the day your temperature increased.  Use this number to figure out your likely next date of ovulation, and count back three days to find the best time to engage in intercourse. If your cycle is different from month-to-month, you may need to track for several months to find an average or a bigger pattern to know your likely date of ovulation. Be sure to use a thermometer specifically designed to find basal temperature, or your body’s resting temperature. Also take it as soon as you wake up, before you begin moving around.  Keep your thermometer on your nightstand to make it easy to reach from bed. Some women experience an increase in clear vaginal secretions, resembling raw egg whites, right before ovulation. It might be difficult to notice unless you are looking for it and comparing secretions every day.  Mark dates on a calendar that you notice any secretions.  Use one symbol or color for any you consider “normal,” meaning frequently the same amount, color and texture, and any days you notice more or different secretions. If there is a day or two you when have higher secretion levels or they resemble egg whites, assume your date of ovulation is the next day or so after that. Use this information to decide when it is best to have sex over the coming month. Some women experience mild cramping when they ovulate.  If you can’t find your basal temperature, or don’t show a pattern of increasing temperature around the same time every month, start charting any abdominal discomfort you feel.  There may be a pattern here to show when you usually ovulate.  For a month, mark every day on a calendar that you have any abdominal discomfort.  Afterwards, look over the dates.  If there were a couple days in the middle of your cycle during which you had mild cramping, this is likely when you ovulated. Use the number of days in-between your last period and cramping to determine the best days to have sex in the coming month. Available as an over-the-counter test, this kit helps you monitor your urine for an increase in hormones that occurs most often right before ovulation.  As soon as you are alerted to an increase, have sex daily until the hormones decrease again. Pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg starts to grow and attaches to the lining of your uterus.  This can happen six days after fertilization (or your date of ovulation) and may take up to four days to complete. The best time to start testing is a few days after your period would normally start.  No matter the length of your menstrual cycle, do not start testing until you have missed your period. If you test any earlier you are more likely to get a false negative. A negative test doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of getting pregnant, or that an egg wasn’t fertilized, just that it didn’t finish attaching before your menstrual cycle progressed.

SUMMARY:
Take your basal body temperature Monitor any vaginal secretions. Notice mild abdominal cramping. Buy an ovulation kit. Test for pregnancy after you miss your period.
