Green-eyed temperature taker?

One of our couple friends at church told us today they're pregnant. I was so excited for them - it's great. They're going to be great parents. I am just admittedly a little bit jealous. They decided to try, and BOOM. A week later it happened. It makes me really upset in a way; I just don't think it's fair. But I know life isn't fair, and I know that I have to wait on God. But it's still hard to not feel a little bit resentful.

So far we've had a pretty minimalist approach to conception. We've just gone off the pill; we're young (we're both only 24), we're healthy, we like sex, it'll happen, right? But last week we decided that if we don't make it this try we're going to get a BBT thermometer. (I admit that the event outlined above has probably cemented that decision in my mind). I don't want to get obsessive, but I also want to get pregnant in time to have the baby during school, and not when I'll be starting to work. I suppose we'll see in a few weeks if I need to head to Target.
